Indeed! Thanks Sarah!

funny!

what about bear claws? those are yummy and I see some...

paw bone's connected to the....arm bone!(off screen) technically, you made a paw, not an arm...but I'm not one to bother with the details ;)

Clever and cute Sarah.:)

Never thought about it that way before....funny!

Nicely said and nicely done!

Entertaining. Thank you.

At first I thought it was a Paramecium with bullet holes in it. Very small calibre arms required for that.

Do innocent children have the right to be shot dead? In a democratic sense you understand...?

funny entry, thanks Sarah

@9: Leigh, I can't speak for Sarah (or anyone else) but I've got to believe no sane person, whether a gun owner or not, accepts the killing of innocent children as a regrettable consequence of Second Amendment rights.

While WebPBN is apolitical, touchy subjects occasionally crop up. Although I've only been hanging around here since last fall, I've seen discussions sometimes develop into mild debates but they never seem to evolve past that. The users of WebPBN are incredibly diverse - geographically, culturally, socially and, yes, politically - and yet those of us who frequent this site are quite close because of our uniqueness. Even when we disagree on specifics, we respect each other's perspective. Whether or not I agree with your feeling about the "right to bear arms", I respect it.

To my mind, democracy itself doesn't determine whether we have a right to own guns, have guaranteed healthcare, provide amnesty to non-citizens, or any of the other many issues we debate. Democracy can't affect the outcome of deliberation, only the process to which it's resolved. A democratic system insures each member of its community one vote having no more or less value than any other member's vote. I would agree that our democratic process has become corrupted, but I would disagree that it's no longer viable. I wonder if we've forgotten that the constitutional rights provided to Americans come with a tremendous amount of responsibility attached to each of them. I wish we were as quick to consider and accept our constitutional responsibilities as we are to claim our constitutional rights.

Leigh, if you'd like know my thoughts on Second Amendment rights please feel free to email me at khp164@hotmail.com. I would be interested in knowing more about your perspective.

Oh, and Kurt - I LOVE those bear claws too!

Good point Dave!

Very thought provoking, Dave. People keep talking about gun control, but how do we manage bomb control?

No fair thinking with your head, Norma.

I'm sorry, I know this is probably going to open a whole can of worms but, do innocent children have the right to be killed before they're even given the chance to live?

Well, you are certainly right about the can of worms part.

I guess we'll see who takes the bait.

Karl, maybe?

I think you are right, Adam, since he seems to be underwater so much of the time.

I only have tears to share in this conversation!

I think the bigger can of worms here is the amount of jokes that can be made about a state trooper liking bear claws. :)

You HAD to go there, didn't you Kristen?

hahahaha!

Congrats on runner-up Sarah.:)

Yes! Congratulations Sarah!

yeah, congrats!

Thank you!

But what about the right to arm bears?
