What moral integrity? The mere possibility of that went out the window at sandy hook. I had to have a conversation with the wife about whether we even wanted to put our kids back in school for high school - for that and obviously many other reasons in the current educational environment in the us. I know one place where my kids will not get shot, not accidentally, and not over a fuckin tv either. Some ridiculous home intruder scenario goes down (which it wont, because they don't) - imma make him breakfast and iron his fuckin undies if he gets him out of there with no shots fired. Take my car keys while you're at it. You see, this is the trouble with arguing against the boogeymen in your mind, rather than discussing things with the person right in front of you. I, personally, am done shooting at people. There are no clauses or exceptions to this...and I take a dim and very public view of people who believe that gun nut shit is somehow good for gun owners. All of this is, perhaps...not even remotely germaine.,.because I think we both understand that what is legal and what is moral are not interchangeable...at least not in the us, even by the us' own quixotic and often spotty moral views.
Well, then I can say I admire this about you-- your position seems consistent across the board.
