You knew I couldn't be nice for more than half a day

And leave that sweet picture of me with baby Hester as the most recent post.

Because the crap in Boston yesterday with the "bomb scare" has my brain melting down.

This guy pretty much said what I wanted to and I couldn't bear to make a post about it last night.

And yes, as I've said many many times on this blog, I would, in fact, rather be more free and less safe. Yes, I'd rather that someone might be able to smuggle a bomb into a public area than have to have my bag searched every time I use public transportation. Yes, I'd rather that someone be able to hide bombs in garbage cans than that you remove all garbage cans from city streets. Yes, I'd rather that someone be able to smuggle something shady in a shampoo bottle onto a plane than not be able to carry any toiletries with me on a trip.

"That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves." - Thomas Jefferson

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln

"Those who give up essential liberties for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

God forbid someone in Boston actually find one of these.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
