By the sword and the gun you die and you had it coming, embracing all that steel in the first place, and you can come back and write poems about it, except they're not really poems, at least not like the quick and the dead might have written in the dawning age of steel freedom, intoxicating as it was back then..

We pray with each other... we prey on each other... we must war until there is only one left. Damn that god who created Eve! :roll:

Right back to square one, and maybe "He" was right..
The mind is a terrible thing to waste. (Don't) have gun, will travel, at least for now, though I can see the logic either way. What am I thinking going out there without a gun, onto the naked plains my God. I might need a gun to shoot at glint or something.

Brutality is good if done right. "Drill those little fuckers," said Hunter S with his stolen .38 shooting at lizards in the desert, trying to get back to LA..

my cousin who lives in California seems to be apolitic but he has a political opinion this time: he´s against the proliferation and easy access of guns in the population. He´s against militarist´s discourse & pseudo-ethics also. Good for him! Not idea if he would march in the 24th, though....

Thanks Cec, Arcadia. Excuse my rantbling. I read that 70 percent of Americans want something done about the proliferation of military-grade weapons on the street. Not sure if that was an outright ban, or just more mandatory restrictions and/or screening on a national level.

I mean, 70 percent for Chrissake! And yet, nothing... Is it just bad karma?

Congratulations to your cousin, Arcadia. I believe he is in good company living in "Califa."

70% of Americans have not a lot of politcal power. .

Oh yes the 0.001 percent and the dark energy of dark money :cry:
It is probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better
In the meantime keep on shopping
we must maintain consumer confidence

The N.R.A. ... Not. Really. Applicable. They've gone off the rails. For quite awhile. Even gun enthusiasts shake their heads.
