I just got back from New Orleans Louisiana, and boy is life different there. I wanted to make sure I posted something by tonight but I have jetlag so I am going to bed... I will post pictures and write a complete blog tomorrow or Friday!
Hope anyone who reads this is doing well. Love, R

Dear r.f.m.
Since you brought up another important issue, I simply wanted to comment on the last portion of what you have said. First of all, I want you to know where I stand with regard to gun control. I am in favor of getting rid of ALL guns, if it is possible. But I realize that it isn't possible. So when our civil liberties are taken away, I have a problem with it. With the issue about guns or gun control and violence on TV relating to having access to guns, I don't think that I have to worry about it. The National Rifle Association is the single most powerful non-profit organization in our country. It bases its political activity on the principle that gun ownership is a civil liberty protected by the 2nd Amendment of our Bill of Rights. It has over four million members, who are mostly very rich and highly politically influential people, who control the puppets in our Congress. It is truly an issue when children started shooting each other and killing each other because guns are so accessible! It is a critical issue when children go rampantly shooting teachers and other students in schools! How safe can we all be? There is no safe place to go. How many universities, colleges, and high schools have we had lately that have been involved in this -- Columbine, Virginia Tech, UC Davis, four other schools in San Diego? It's all because media's impact is so great on having the right of citizens to be free to own guns whether they are going to use it or not. Or, whether the gun is for self-defense or for hunting. Gun control is something that they said we have to leave alone. But you really raised a very good point for all of us to ponder on -- parents will fast forward television shows in order to avoid kissing scenes on television because sex is such a taboo but approves violence on TV that involves guns! It is ironic that the longer we go on like this as a society the more young people end up being dead or end up being criminals killing countless lives when firearms are easily accessible! Just like freedom on pornography (not erotica), it is about time for Americans to look into violence against women and this so-called right to bear arms, which also leads to violence. Aren't we all tired of it?
