I found your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog …

Recently there were three gun restriction laws that did not pass in California – one would have outlawed “open carry” in all parts of the state. Another would have required long guns and rifles to be registered same as handguns, and a third would have required a registry for buying ammo. All three bills failed to pass – and that actually brought a sigh of relief from me.

I don’t consider myself to be a violent individual, but if there is some right-wing- tea party-extremist out there who is going to come gunning for me and my family, then I want to have the same 2nd Amendment rights that he has with the ability to use deadly force to defend us as much as he feels that he has the right to use deadly force to harm us. In other words – if they have a gun, then I want a gun too.

It’s rhetoric like what I described in the above post that doesn’t just piss me off – it scares me. Because if they feel that they have a right to use violence to get what they want and if they feel that no one else has the right to defend themselves then where does it end? How far is too far for them?

The cats still seem to be suffering from seperation anxiety. Xander, Dory – and particularly Marlin seem to be really clingy, and don’t want to let us out of their sight. Xena seems to be the one who is coping the best as she doesn’t seem to be acting like the others.

There are still some things that remind me of Mittens though – like when Dory curls up and goes to sleep between Wifey’s legs the way she and Mittens used to do. Or whenever I hear Lady Antebellum’s “American Honey” on the radio because that was always playing on the radio whenever we would take Mittens down to the vet. But whenever I hear that song I always think about the good and not the bad. Yeah it might bring a tear to my eye now – but its a tear filled with love.

But you’re right Karol, thesae guys need to man up and be accountable for what they have done, and they are not doing it. That is one of the problems with big business today. If the executives don’t have their hand in the cookie jar and up their secretary’s skirt, then they are trying to find a scapegoat to blame for their screw-ups. That way they save their precious reputations while ruining someone elses lives.

But in the end what goes around comes around and I firmly believe that these people will get their eventually.

It’s people like this that want it both ways that really steams me. One one hand they want to be able to say that we are lazy and why don’t go get a job. But when we go to them for the job they tell us that they won’t hire us – and as soon as our backs are turned they are pointing at us and laughing. That’s the worst of it for me – the hypocricy. Its bad enough that they won’t hire us, but do they have to insult us while they are doing it?
