    America is special. There’s no country with this amount of diversity of culture or people. It’s an experiment that works and has kept working.

    Prior to having a family, I wasn’t nearly as scared. I was absolutely invincible. After having one? You bet your ass I’m scared and willing to protect them at all costs.

    I don’t think there’s any weakness in admitting that.

    Edit - also belief has nothing to do with religion in the context I’m using it here. To frame it another way: I have accepted that there is nothing that can be done to remove guns.

      And your religion (or fear) has fooled you into thinking that having a gun helps keep you or anyone around you safe.

      It’s your binky. Your pacifier. Your bible you hug and fondle without understanding.
