weird but true

there's been another massacre at a US college. 33 gunned down by some bitter and angry geezer. on TV today there was a huge bowtie with a man behind it. the man was part of the pro-firearms lobby.
without a trace of irony, the man stood up for everyone's right to own fire arms in the name of self defence. if, he reasoned, one of the students at the college had had a gun they could have shot the guy doing all the killing, thus saving numerous lives!
is it just me or is that slightly twisted logic?
on a more positive note, the sun is shining, i am in love. little fluffy birds are flying overhead trilling, and lambs are gambolling in the fields.
did i tell you about how i was in the gym the other day, watching a kids programme about sheep and i suddenly thought how funny it would be to have a disco full of sheep? well, yesterday i was at the zoo (don't ask) and this hideous little brat threw a sweet paper into the otter enclosure. the otters all went bonkers, trying to grab the wrapper off each other. i thought it would be hilarious if they all came running over and flung the wrapper back in the brat's face.
if only...
