Say What?
On a day when the whole world seems to have gone right off our collective Prozac (don't get me started on this, this, this, this, this, this, this, or this, mostly because I still can't type much), I find this quote from the adults:
...Imagine if James Madison and the other Founding Fathers had tried to write a constitution while carriages were being blown up on the roads from Boston to Philadelphia. Imagine if, instead of holding their debates in complete secrecy, they had been forced to conduct them in the full glare of the global media. Imagine if they had been forced to write that document while America's neighbors worked to ensure their failure. ...
Words fail me. Which is useful in light of the hand injury ;) And thanks for the kind thoughts, you guys are great.

On the next chair is a dummy pocked with many bullet holes. The grizzled good doctor says:
"Look's like you're going to make it. Can't say the same for your little buddy. Ways I heard it, he's the one that mouthed off to those gunslingers in the first place."
