A matter of perspective
I just went swimming in the sewer. Well, not really, but that's what it feels like. Actually I was surfing around the Brady Campaign website, where I found this little gem mixed in with their 10 year old statistics:
The Brady Bunch and their partners in crime, the Million Mom March, like to say things like that. Here's one from the MMM:
But is it really "for the children?"
According to this site, the average annual expenditures for the Brady Campaign/MMM during the years of 2000, 2001, and 2002 was $5,001,358.
If they really wanted to "help the children," they could have gone to the Children's Hunger Relief Fund and used that money to help feed one child every day for a year for $55. Their $5 million would have provided food for 90,933 children for a year.
I ask again......is it really "for the children?"

If it were really for "the chirren" they'd be much more concerned about abusive parents than unsecured firearms.
