Curtis, you are sounding very un-Obama-ish and very Bush-like with all this talk about guns and coming out ablazing if you find your life is in danger.
May I suggest that instead of violence that you consider whipping out your mouthharp and performing a sweet little ditty for the crack-head who is hellbent upon cracking open YOUR head? Sure, you may spill a pint or two of the red stuff instead of your interlocker's...but you'll rest comfortably in your hospital bed knowing that you didn't lift a finger in violence against your fellow man. What would the Dalai Lama and Barky Hussein think of your willingness to do harm to your fellow incarnations of God? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > <I just keep a shotgun with shells loaded with split peas.> > > That's interesting.
