Back in my day, we had dumb things like "senior ditch day" which I did not participate in even though I was prone to ditching school. My youth was not sunshine and roses. I just never liked to go "with the crowd." So I went to class on Senior Ditch Day. The upside is, I didn't get in trouble for participating, so there's that!Ornery Owl of Naughty Netherworld Press and Readers Roost https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596105116325246476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-18892308377182795442018-03-21T12:02:46.589-07:002018-03-21T12:02:46.589-07:00The school around here was...tolerant, I guess.

I find it so incomprehensible how many people love their guns. They all talk about their 2nd amendment rights so, why not give them muskets? Did you know that Japan have very tight restrictions on gun control...the result? there was only 1 person arrested because of that weapon in the entire year!...1 person!
