In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

Geez, when I got married we did it in our rowhouse in Philly. I think the guy who did the ceremony was a Moonie and cost $70. My parents gave us a check for $500 (a SHOCK) !
All the guests got amazingly drunk, and my husbands sisters stayed around to clean up.
It was the best wedding ever.
I'm certainly not saying I haven't done some stupid things. I have. But I dealt with it and sacrificed to make it right.
Guess I should have waited for my bailout. Stupid me !
