Foolish comment

Submitted by mole333 on 11 October 2007 - 6:33pm.

Interesting how three very similarly worded comments come in almost simultaneously, all of them referring to an "inanimate object" and exaggerating the fear.

Look. No one is criticizing cops or their need for guns. To suggest I was doing so is just plain stupid. In fact much of what you say is so absurd it almost is not worth responding.

But when you have a store with a play area with kids running around, playing and all, it is NO PLACE FOR A GUN. Period. What the store needs is a plain old security guard in the play area, not an armed cop paid for by our tax money. If you are unable to see that, then I think you need to think about the situation a bit more.

hmmm. i received this email from NARAL today. i'm not sure i like it much. there's just enough ignorance in it to piss me off. i mean, what century are we in that "latinos" and black women are the *only* women of color? what happened to asian, arabs and native women? and the three "pillars" that are being organized around, community control, holistic health, and positive motherhood, sound like they have been re-written by some over anxious white dude who doesn't want to piss off the white women who support NARAL (established women of color org's *do* organize around these things, it just sounds like the fierce women of color language has been co-opted). and the email title is as follows: " It's time to Recognize! the reproductive health needs of women of color". ummm, is it really time? forty years after women of color started organizing on their own because white women couldn't bear to make us a part of the movement, it is *finally* time?
grrr.
