I simply have chosen within the past year to not be eaten by the madness without at least being able to deliver a sting to the tongue.<br /><br />Just on my street, not counting the surrounding streets but just one mine within 1/2 mile (3/10ths of a kilometer) there have been 3 shootings 2 deaths) in the past four weeks. I would prefer no one lose their life this way, that all simply grow as old as they can and pass peacefully in their sleep--but like the next aphorism says about dreams and wishes. They are not constructs of wisdom.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-64599286727896125762016-06-02T06:50:41.663-04:002016-06-02T06:50:41.663-04:00I believe we stand on the porch together Shadow.

Less willing to excuse them who wreak harm on others more willing to return that harm in equal amounts.<br /><br />The Ghandhists of the world may say I should be willing to die for protest, i think I should be rather willing to live as protest.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-33387657187492524832016-06-01T07:33:22.344-04:002016-06-01T07:33:22.344-04:00I am a huge critic of average people having guns b...I am a huge critic of average people having guns but i completely trust your judgement.

They target children here for revenge. I do not fear this place, this place fears me for the reputation I have visited upon it over the past 3 decades. Hell of a way to live. That said I see no reason to not be kind to them who wish it but I also do not see a reason to subscribe to victimhood.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-46191553546860346492016-05-31T05:48:28.693-04:002016-05-31T05:48:28.693-04:00I don't know what to say to you Alice, I don&#...I don't know what to say to you Alice, I don't really know what stage of life I am in or if I have ever been in a stage that did not reflect my reality. I never owned a gun until 6 or so years ago but then the great slide from mere ghetto to true slum happened.<br /><br />You most likely will never know what it's like to see the aftermath of someone walking up to a car and shooting the inhabitants. Or what it does to a neighborhood when babies for Christ's sake are shot as revenge for a beef with the parent.<br /><br />And I pray you never do live in this stage or reality.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-37955964189978111362016-05-29T13:20:52.886-04:002016-05-29T13:20:52.886-04:00I hope when I reach that stage in life I will feel...I hope when I reach that stage in life I will feel no need for guns.Alice Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493000223984649409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-6104040272726747062016-05-28T17:35:49.007-04:002016-05-28T17:35:49.007-04:00My dog does not growl nor roar at anyone ...
