I’m gonna say something here and I don’t care who reads it or what the hell they’re gonna think of me…

ANY man who throws away a beautiful wife and some of the most amazing children that I have ever seen God bless ANYONE with, who mistreats the woman that he had been married to for so long, is a TOTAL BASTARD.

I admit that my bout with bipolar made me make life a living hell for those closest to me, especially my former wife and I’ll always regret that… but even in the darkest times of that abyss I was NOT the asshole that some men seem determined to be. Men who even seem PROUD to be such assholes!

“President Bush says he has directed federal officials to conduct a national inquiry into how to prevent violence by dangerously unstable people.”

He can start with those who want the war in Iraq because as Einstein put it: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.

For me, the red flags started going up yesterday when Senator Charles Schumer from New York said that he wanted mental health workers to report to the federal government on who is “mentally ill” for the express purpose of the feds denying them the right to own a gun.

For one thing, this is a knee-jerk reaction. For another, the existing gun laws are adequate already… maybe too adequate. For yet another, no matter how much law gets passed, eventually someone is going to break it and cause something like the incident at Virginia Tech ...
