Piggybacking on my December 16th post, I bring you a John Lennon moment. And I firmly believe you should have as many John Lennon moments as possible.
It was Himself who found this, a moment that showcases something we all know: No one responds to abject idiocy like New Yorkers.
I have Connecticut on my mind. Who doesn’t these days? I’m not going to talk about the indescribable horror (I’m still too sad). I’m not going to climb onto my rabidly pro-gun-control soapbox, either (too mad). I am, however, going to share the tart response of one of my wisest–and warmest–friends over here (here, I can’t resist reminding anyone who’s interested, being a place with virtually no guns and virtually no gun violence) to the idiocy of those who sputter, “..but, but..it’s my right…!.
How I love when wisdom and smart-assery meet:
“The second amendment guarantees Americans the right to bear arms. So, in keeping with that, I say the US should round up all the AK-47s, Sig Sauers, Tech 9s, etc. and replace them with what was available in 1791: a single-shot, muzzle-loaded, flintlock-firing rifle, like the framers of the Constitution envisioned.”
And so happy Christmas we hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fear.
