    Iris, if I bought the gun and I asked you personally to donate something....you'd give me a few bucks I know you would. And I would promise to grow a Lilly on my patio in your honor.

    I've resisted responding to this thread because I don't want it to take up any of my time or cyberspace. It doesn't deserve it. And that's all I have to say about that.

    No doubt a common response. I felt the same way for a couple days now. But then I started to feel like to ignore it for me was like getting pushed around by a bully. There are a lot of raw feelings that this incident exposed and a lot of fear of discussing it.

    Which to me points out just how vulnerable we are to divisiveness. I don't think it portends well, for us as a nation when we can't look something in the eye and stare it down. I'm not wired that way. I see a pile of excrement , I figure somebody has to pick it up. I can't walk by and pretend it's not there. But I respect your approach as being just as valid.

    For once I think it's you with the rose colored glasses and me being cynical. I don't think our society is this good right now, I'd be shocked if this could happen even if you attached a big Hollywood star
