Welcome friends!
I just remembered a newspaper article that caught my eye a few weeks ago so let me say a few words about that before I forget about it. It was somewhat interesting to me because it brought to mind that vexed nexus of the beautiful and the good, or the bad, as the case may be. You know, beauty is truth, truth beauty, and all that rot. Plus it involved guns. And you know how Americans love guns.
So let’s first just do a quick summary of the article. It appears a certain minor television actress named Shannon Richardson from the great state of Texas (where else?) was recently sentenced to eighteen years in prison for sending letters contaminated with the deadly poison ricin to the President of the US, the then mayor of NCY Michael Bloomberg, and the then director of an organization called Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Mark Glaze. The text of the letters set forth Ms. Richardson’s thoughts on the thorny issue of gun control: “You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. The right to bear arms is my constitutional God-given right. What’s in this letter is nothing compared to what I’ve got planned for you.”... Sorry but only selected archived (previous year) posts are currently available full text on this website. All posts including this one are available in my annual anthology ebook series available at the Amazon Kindle Bookstore for a nominal fee. Hey, we all need to make a buck somehow, right? If you find my timeless jewels of wisdom amusing or perhaps even amusingly irritating throw me a bone now and then. Thank you my friends!
