AnnaZ BUMP...Merry Christmas!!

And that's the irony of the Kumbaya types, it's a facade, a lie, they're not lovers they're
vicious, spitting, profane haters, abusers of metaphors, employers of clichés, destroyers, disturbed.

I suspect most of them haven't sufficient imagination to visualize eleven seconds.
The eleven seconds that it took some souls to fall from the top of a WTC Tower to the pavement.

But, this is the joyous season, for contemplating that which is good...our friends, families,
the low casualty rate for our folks in Afghanistan, and the smiling faces on the streets of
Kabul, Mazaar-i-Sharif, etc.

Merry Christmas to you Ms. Mercuria and all other posters/lurkers!

I grew up "on the water...." the ocean was about 50 feet from our front door, and the whole area is full of rivers, creeks, streams, ponds, and borrow pits.

My parents did not try to "make me safe" by keeping me away from the water; rather, they "made me safe around water" by teaching me to swim....

I can't recall ever not being able to swim or roll over and float on my back....

Likewise, when I was about 6, my Dad "made me safe around firearms" by teaching me to handle weapons carefully & responsibly.....

Water, fire, and weapons of any sort are wonderful servants but fearful masters, and adults owe their children instruction in the uses of these things.... not the teaching of fear.

"But I educate my children," I told her.

Good for you. My Mom and Dad never regretted the training they gave me - also the NRA. Good article.

I hope you had a great Christmas.
