Do you all remember the thread last year about this time that started out
innocently enough about the woman that was going to travel across the
country with her two daughters?  She received a lot of good advice, and it
was an interesting topic.  For about two days.

Then, someone mentioned that she should bring a gun to protect herself and
her children. That's when it started.  (And this thread is starting to sound
very tired and familiar)  FOR TWO WEEKS the stupid subject went back and
forth, and my delete key got the best workout it had ever had (or has had
since).

PLEASE - I IMPLORE YOU, my delete key implores you - stop this madness
before it gets nasty!!!

PS: I am withholding my opinion on the whole gun subject, since I think it
is silly to even discuss it on this forum.  It is pretty easy to figure out
that there are about two or three subjects that ANY group of humans WILL
NEVER AGREE ON, and gun ownership is certainly one of them.

To quote Rodney King during his trial: "Can't we all just get along...?"
