In the case of the visit to the SS office, I'm not sure that much well 
earned profanity would get past the server, or Dennis for that matter.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, the only place some plainly defective 
person goes with a rifle & 20 lbs of ammo, is the "gun free zone" & while 
the faux news media carefully varnishes it over, there has been "action" 
in a CA SS office.  But that doesn't get clicks, eyeballs, or sell near 
as many papers as Sandy Hooks do.

But I try to follow the advice in my sig, and start with the soap box. 
But I also have a good supply of the other 3 if the occasion warrants. :)  
Fortunately, time wounds all heels, & the only guy I ever threatened to 
kill, died about 5 years ago.

The ultimate revenge, outliving your enemy. ;-)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
