How guns literally go to men’s heads
By Thom Hartmann A...
People are asking why the shooter in Virginia Beach used a gun to settle his workplace score. The answer is probably pretty simple.When a man has a gun, he literally holds the power of life and death in his hand. That kind of power is extraordinarily seductive.
With a gun in his hand, a man can look around a room, a building, or a public area and specifically identify who will instantaneously die and whom he will allow to live. It's a power that traditionally has only been held by doctors, priests, police and soldiers.
The power over life and death is greater and more intoxicating than any other power; it's one of the reasons why some men are specifically drawn to these professions and historically have tried to regulate them to be male-only.

I got up one morning and 2 geese had moved in, they stayed for about a month and then left as suddenly as they showed up. They took over the whole property...lol, bossing around all the other critters.

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
Hot Coffee, thanks for the comeback. I was watching a Netflix series about Humboldt County and the pot industry. I found it fascinating and I wound up watching the entire series in two nights. I suspect you are somewhere near that area and thought of you many times.
Today's tidbit of funny,
"Hillary Clinton has no nice words to say about Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, claiming that he will ‘burn the place down’ if he loses a district in the election. Her words were met with mockery and cries of hypocrisy."The democrat party is already starting to eat itself.
