I feel safer at home than I would in Mexico. But, almost daily in mid Michigan there is some kind of gun violence going on. A few days ago a guy offed his wife and stepdaughter then took himself out. Another guy a while back flipped out and shot a pro life demonstrator and a business owner he had a grudge with. Guns facilitate this sort of thing. Years ago a disgruntled janitor blew up a school with dynamite, maybe today he would have used a gun. We just have a culture of violence. And, if the war on drugs is any indication, I doubt a war on guns would be any more successful.

My neighbor, who can afford to winter
wherever he wants, has gone to Mexico
for several years,

He says that he feels safer there than
in his former South Florida location.

Perhaps you and other Canadians who feel the way you do, should take your own advice...... stay home.... but you continue to test fate. We can only wish you luck in your quest to make the world safe.

Yes, and the Pope is too, if you listen to the crapola from the right wing spin machine.

Quote:
 
In a new interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Pope Francis responded to allegations that he is a Marxist, after he recently criticized 'unfettered capitalism.'

The Pope told La Stampa that “Marxist ideology is wrong. But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended ... there is nothing in the exhortation that cannot be found in the social doctrine of the church.”

He was referring to an apostolic exhortation from November, in which he wrote, "As long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world's problems or, for that matter, to any problems."

Another passage read, ""Just as the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills."

The Pope's words received harsh criticism from American conservatives, including Rush Limbaugh, who told his audience that ""this is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope. Unfettered capitalism? That doesn't exist anywhere. Unfettered capitalism is a liberal socialist phrase to describe the United States. Unfettered, unregulated."

As well as addressing the controversy, Pope Francis shared with La Stampa his thoughts as he approaches his first Christmas as head of the Catholic Church:. “Christmas is God’s meeting with his people," he said. "It is also a consolation, a mystery of consolation.. After the midnight mass I have often spent an hour or so alone in the chapel before celebrating the dawn mass. I felt a profound feeling of consolation and peace.”

Most of us realize the commie paranoia of the McCarthy era was wrong. But, that still seems to be a favority of right wing propaganda when vilifying the opposition. To them there is a commie under the bed and behind every bush waiting to take away our freedom. It's BS that appeals to the delusional idiots.

Now again I will say the recent CO shooter was a socialist. Note I said not one word about anyone else.
