Heartless Neanderthals...

So, I was listening to Gun Nuts last night, and participating in the chat forum that accompanies the show, when Turk Turon came into chat to give us the sad news about Tam's cat passing away.

And you know what happened? Every single person in that chat room immediately surfed over to Tam's website to post condolences. All of those bitter, clingy gun owners, who had previously been debating types of ammunition and general home defense, were falling over themselves to help out a friend who was hurting. 104 comments so far, and they're continuing to flood in.

Imagine that. Gun owners. Caring for one of their own in need. Just like normal people...

That is all.

Dammit! I keep forgetting that we are all supposed to be bitter and clinging to our guns; not being nice to each other and open minded. That label never seems to stick no matter how much they try to put it on us.

I went to the Indy Blog meet last weekend and was very pleased to have met a whole bunch of nice, fun, friendly, articulate, and armed people. Additionally, I have never had a more safe walk along the Monon Trail after dinner.
