although the press makes it sound as if people are all hiding away and wringing their hands).

We're not. We're also not waiting around for psychobabblists to assuage our grief and fear. The whole notion infuriates me. What would you do if it was your area? Using the "you" pronoun to refer to anyone reading and not in the Merryland area. You know, especially on THIS forum, every one of you would be out and about doing your business. I'm thinking most of you would, while mindful of potential danger, encourage your children to live normal lives...ie go to school, etc.

Merryland is a goofy liberal state that I love to hate but two things.....We ain't electing that idiot Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and we ain't a bunch of cowards hiding under covers from that nasty sniper. Somewhere deep inside of the citizens of this liberal hell of a hole, there are REAL Americans.

Heck, we even resent the very honest Governor Spendenning, the little lesbian Mikulski and that blow-hard Sarbanes taking advantage of this event for air time. WE are the citizens of Merryland. WE have no microphones to show how glib we are. WE must work, pay our bills and live our lives. And by golly that is just what we are doing.

Great post. I'm trying to think how I'd handle this if it happened in my area, but I'm afraid I just don't see it happening. I live in Alabama. Dove season opened for me this past Saturday and I still have two shotguns and two cases of shells in my truck parked outside my office door. (For emphasis, I'm a female.) My son just called and wanted to know where the key to the gun cabinet was because he's going dove hunting this afternoon. We are not the exception, we are the rule in this neck of the woods. Frankly, it would be dangerous for a sniper around here. Y'all come!

Go Marylanders!

BTW, Neal Boortz (a conservative talk show host heard in Florida) went into a real good rant yesterday about the "grief counseling racket." I loved it. He said they are taking normal human reactions, "medicalizing" them and making them sound like an illness. I'm sure these counselors are probably arriving in busloads up in the DC area right now - just what nobody needs at a time like this!

Boy, can I relate to your post. Many of us are forced to live under oppressive socialist 'regimes' in our individual states. But the rest of the world just doesn't know how many good, honest, real Americans are at the heart of so many states with even the most liberal of reputations.
