I Could Kill Someone
If you are threatened or battered to the point where you must take out a restraining order, and then the bully or batterer violates said restraining order, you should be able to kill that son of a bitch with no threat of legal action whatsoever. Period. Let me be very clear – I’m all for [...]

3 Year-Old Boy Lost for Two Days Found Safe – Just Don’t Call it a Miracle
I read this morning in the newspaper about a little boy lost for two days in Missouri. They finally found 3 year-old Joshua Childers alive and well, albeit tired and a bit scared, in the woods not far from where he disappeared. It’s hard to read the story and not get teary-eyed. My mom heard [...]
More Facebook Fun – Ongoing
