God, why didn't you make us all dogs?

The NRA disgraced itself this morning with a self-serving press event in which they demonized the media and the entertainment industry for gun violence in America, and advocated a national data base for all mentally ill persons. They apparently want armed guards in all American schools, and it seems, armed volunteers as well. Shocking.

Being liberated means reading what you want to read, and fantasizing about what you want to fantasize about.
