Quote of the day: But for heaven's sake, let's not start a conversation when it's too soon


Resist, as strongly as you can, the people who seek to profit by isolating you in your homes, and in your anger, and in your wounded sense of aggrieved entitlement, and with all your guns.
- Charles Pierce offering guidance to people who don't believe that the solution is arming everyone, ducking for cover, and hoping that living in the “right neighborhood” will save them.

p3's sympathy goes out to the families of those children and school teachers killed in the Newtown CT shooting this morning, but let's not pretend for a moment that well-meaning gestures will do a single damned thing to prevent the next such shooting, which is already out there somewhere approaching the boiling point.
