Gun Laws Don't Work.......
A man believed to be a former student opened fire in a school in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, killing 12 people and wounding 22 others before taking his own life, authorities said. "STORY"
This is one telling sentence from "THIS" article:
Obviously, all these controls have lead for a huge black market.
"FROM WIKI"
Because of gun politics in Brazil, all firearms are required to be registered with the state; the minimum age for ownership is 25[1] and although it is legal to carry a gun outside a residence, extremely severe restrictions were made by the federal government since 2002 making it virtually impossible to obtain a carry permit.[2] To legally own a gun, the owner must pay a tax every three years to register the gun, currently at R$ 60,[3] and registration can be done via the Internet or in person with the Federal Police.[4] Until the end of the 2008, unregistered guns could be legalized for free.[5] The total number of firearms in Brazil is thought to be around 17 million[2] with 9 million of those being unregistered.[1]

"HAPPY NEW BEERS EVE" to my readers!
One of my facebook friends put a post on this morning that was about something I had never heard of.
It seems that Today is celebrated as "NEW BEERS EVE" which marked the end of prohibition.
On the evening of April 6th people lined up to legally purchase beer after 13 years of it being illegal!
I've been around for almost half a century, I've had my share of the "devil's brew" and have never heard of this. Therefore , only once, will I thank Al Gore for inventing the internets. Now I can learn information like this and also download pictures of silly cats and boobies!!

Okay, Let’s look at this :
1. The first lady does not want us to eat this type of food.
2. The President is touting this as great for the economy.
3. 5 years ago when Bush was president, “burger flipping” jobs weren’t real jobs to liberals.
4. 6 months ago McDonald’s announces they are going to lay off 35,000 people because of healtchacre costs (after Obamacare).
5. McDonald’s retracts that statement and gets a “waiver”
6. Now this?????/
Where is the media real journalists to call them out on this????? So friggin aggravating.
thanks to the Furious Frenchman, he gets so aggravated he yells at his computer.....
