She sounds pretty desperate to me.
But, why is he behaving like that? In another one of her blog posts, she bitches that she should have never had children because her eldest son does not clean his room. That's another child that she is outing for the whole world. She also had a loose tire and wrote on her blog that she believes her ex-husband was trying to hurt them. Yet, he is trying to get the older kids. He could be an ass, but she should certainly not be blogging about it. The drama that she and her husband perpetrate around their children very well could be the culprit of this child's theatrics. I am torn as to whether he is mentally ill or learning to seek attention the same way his parents do.

Well, armchair experts abound, but the reality is that this behavior is far more prevalent than serial and mass killing. That tells me that the large majority of these children do not go on to commit serious crimes. In turn, that tells me that this poor kids mother is projecting a future that is far from uncertain. She should shut her fucking pie hole and try locking up the knives or take a break from griping about her ex and spend that time at therapy instead of dragging her kid to an asylum because he *said* something. If my parents took me to the hospital every time I said I was going to hurt myself, I would have been like that kid -- drugged up and traumatized needlessly.

I'll bet you the strict constructionists would not want to limit the 2d Amendment to muzzle-loaders, Shel, as the "Founding Fathers" intended. Hell, they've already gotten their nazi pals on the supreme court to overlook the "well-regulated militia" part of it. Strict construction...like beauty...seems to be in the eye of the beholder.
Frankly, in that case, I think they are largely full of shit.

How do you know the founding fathers intended that? That is what I want to know. If that is just not your interpretation, why is it not part of the amendment?
