Guns

Guns are bad.

Handguns are very bad.

The only purpose of a handgun is to kill people.

People who think that carrying a handgun will help keep them safe are misguided according to This Article - carrying a gun is more likely to get you killed.

Lammies & P(aed)olanski - there's a mix for you

I was thinking -

I've got my lj blog for the whole what's-happening-in-my-life and these-are-my-rants things. LJ is my diary, my basic every day life as a contact with friends and a replacement for the books I used to use years ago.

I've got my dreamwidth blog for writing - first drafts, snippets that may go somewhere but aren't going anywhere yet and for concrit.

So I reckon I'll keep this blog away from those things.

Oh, it will have rants and personal opinions right enough but they'll be rants about political stuff and opinion on news and politics rather than writing, bards, fanfic, bad grammar & personal life.

So with that in mind....

Roman Polanski. I can't believe how many people are rushing to defend him. I just hope that no-one, not actor, director, producer, nor writer, that I really admire, defends him. As it is it'll be a cold day in hell before I ever put money into Whoopi Goldberg's pocket again...

This piece says it all for me - Reminder

and then onto...

The whole Lammies saga - these posts pretty much sum up my opinion - and God there's a lot of misinformation floating round. Not to mention entitlement.
