I usually try not to weigh in on stuff like this, but i have a personal story to tell about it. You might remember a few years ago that some kid shot up a church group in Denver, then went down to Colorado Springs the next day and shot up a Big Church there. Someone in that congregation WHO WAS ARMED scored a couple hits on him before he turned the gun on himself. In this particular case, it was someone in the congregation WHO WAS ARMED who stopped the carnage.

Shocker. It was even more shocking to me because, while he was on his way down to the Springs, a phone in our house rang. Yes, we were one of the people that he called on his way to his final scene.

Did we have any idea that he was going to do this? Nope. When we spoke to him on the phone, he said he was going away and we probably wouldn’t see him again. In 20/20 hindsight, maybe we missed a signal, but people don’t go off and do this kind of thing. Sure, there have been a number of incidents like this, but in a nation of 300 million people it’s a VERY SMALL minority who go off the rails and do this sort of thing. Most people who have guns are responsible with them.

Sometimes I forget I usually have my timeline shut down. But sometimes it needs to be open.

Just saying, but if the code is making 389 queries just to paint one page, I understand now why the database server falls over once in a while.

thanks, Warren for reminding me of the Blind Boys of Alabama. I saw them open for Peter Gabriel and they played this song and made the hair stand up on the back of my head.

gosh, has it been two days since I posted a Tim Minchin earworm? If you decide to spend some time on youtube checking out his other videos, give yourself a couple hours. His super-rationalist bits bug me just a little bit sometimes, but he’s brilliant.
