At dinner last nite inthe employee cafeteria sat with Siohan who was a cocktail waitress but now running banquets in all but name only . She seems pretty happy and being one of the suits has not gone to her head . I knew it wudn't but am still happy she isn't one of the phonys all to common in the hospitality industry who think there slick & sophisticated operators
Heard too we're going to have KT Tunstall staying here in a few weeks .Also horror of horrors a huge group that'll be in town for the convention of the NATIOAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION or NRA which is the biggest gun lobby group . Charlton Heston was there president for years . Lucky me again , just what I want people from a organization thats against much neeed gun control and I bet half of them wil be walking a around carrying . Including in my bar automatically raising the odds someone including moi could get shot over something stupid that wud only involve name calling or shoving if it wasn't for having guns .
Moi sometimes thinks she's one of maybe 8 people who stay south of the Mason Dixon line who doesn't own a gun and is for stricter then strict gun control laws .Been around them all my life and fired a few kinds .If I still lived back in the hills wud own at least a shot gun since your so far out in the country if anything happend it wud take the police too long to get to you and what most city folks don't understand is you get animals that can be a real problem.But do think there should be strict standards for anyone who wants to own a gun and except for police and securitys no one should be allowed to own a hand gun .There only real purpose is to kill other human beings
But thats hard to ever see hapening . Guns are American as apple pie and hot dogs .Really doupt there'll ever be realistic strict gun control here . For too many guns are almost a religion and is often pretty goofy .Down here in the south boys in the country usally get there first rifles at 12 or so . There are plenty of people who own guns that have good reason like the ones who stay in the country . Also hunters and sport shooters. But too here own guns for the wrong reason and actually increase the danger there in having them .They'll always tell they need a pistol for protection .That may be true in some cases like if you own a store in the slums but for most it's silly response to doupts about there own self worth( amounting to a confidence pill ) and a mistaken response to fears about crime .Guns create a false sense of security working agnst things that are much better protection like keeping your eyes and ears open .Moi knew of many gangbangers who thought carrying around a 9 was enough and they got shot more then anyone else
I've seen it a million times in real life and all you non Americans ( is there such a word ?) can even see it here in a thread.One member a very nice lady named Pia and her husband got pistols to defend themselves against criminals but she seemed to think just having a gun was enough and didn't seem to give any thought to paying attention to whats happening around you . Moi still worrys somebody will take the gun away from Pia and use it on her and the chance she or her hubby will shoot the other by mistake . Along with coco pop /lil minx who was a real headcase to begin with having serious self worth probelms & overwealming insecurity she tryed covering up with a ton of nonsense about being everything from a world class athelete to sex goddess . In this case claiming to be a virtual gunfighter nobody should ever mess with
But people like the NRA make it all possible for us here including crimials , misguided naive people, and fools to be able to have about any kind of gun we want ! In the end they hurt more then help regular Americans just like the israel lobby and tobacco lobby . Moi will still be nice to them when there here, it is my job after all don't want to get shot by some looney mad his drink was slow . Wonder if like cell phones and lap tops we'll find lost pistols in the booths ?
Am heading out in a periwinkle blouse and navy blue mini . Also probaly for the last time this year my brown boots with a 3" heel .At work the penguin suit and orthies. And NO gun .................
