Today is Thursday, January 31, 2013. My stats today; 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes on the exercise ball and 43 minutes of walking = 2.4 miles for a January total of 65.6 miles. My weight was 163.4 pounds.
QUOTE from Ann Curry: "Maybe the best thing you'll ever do, you haven't even thought of yet."
My THOUGHTS today: Last week I sent Senator Grassley and email urging him to vote for banning assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. Yesterday, a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing was held to hear different viewpoints on the issue of gun control. Gabby Giffords valiantly said her piece that she had written herself on notebook paper. It nearly brought tears as I listened to her. Grassley was there and after the hearing his comments were as follows.
"We all want sensible solutions."
"The deaths in Newtown should not be used to put forward every gun control measure that's been floating around for years." (Grassley, what in the hell should it be used for?_
"The problem is greater than guns alone."
"We need to re-examine mental-health laws and violent video games."
"Limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines can be circumvented by carrying more guns."
I interpret his words as meaning he will do nothing but maybe vote for some kind of mental-health checks.
In my opinion the only thing that will change the minds of anti-gun control freakos is if someone attacks them or their family and kills all of them with a 70 bullet magazine clip. Then maybe they'll think differently (maybe!!!!) about assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. I don't, and I never will, understand why any civilian needs an assault weapon. They are made for the military to kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time.
As Gabby Giffords said yesterday; "It will be hard, but the time is now. You must act. Be bold, be courageous; Americans are counting on you."So Grassley, think about her words - they make sense - Americans are counting on you.
