I was always a fan of Toaster Strudels personally, though a good cherry (non frosted) Pop-Tart isn't too bad.

Add to the hysteria... Pop Tart "Guns."

A student in Baltimore was suspended over breakfast.

7-year-old Josh Welch was eating a Pop-Tart at school. A teacher saw the pastry and said she thought it looked like it was being shaped into a gun.

The teacher also said she heard Welch say, "Bang Bang" while he was holding it.

Fer real... how bloody crazy do people end up getting here??

Guns represent our neanderthal nature. We are uneducated cave dwellers (the majority). Guns are just the "tools" and the anger the writing on the cave wall. It's the product of capitalism, marketing, and corporation ran government guised as democracy.

What IS America's problem?

Some random thoughts: A teen convicted of killing kids in a school shooting smiles and flips off the families as he's sent to jail for life.

The highest rate of suicide in the country is in Wyoming -- and the vast majority of those suicides are committed with guns.

When I was a teenager, I liked to go skating at the local rink (in those days, out on Norwalk St, behind Crown Honda). One day, I was sitting in the game room, chatting with some friends, and someone told a joke... I LOL'ed. At which point some big burly high schooler in a local hockey league walked up and threatened to beat my head in with his stick -- because he assumed I had been laughing at him.

Do guns cause America's problems with violence? Would limiting access to certain weapon types do anything to slow down the mayhem? I don't think so.

America has far less of a gun problem, and far more of an anger problem. People get pissed off at the stupidest things, kill over complete nonsense... fly into absolute rages if they get caught behind someone driving 5 mph slower than they would like to go.

At times like this, in instances that we see far too often, we are a deeply unpleasant people. Will we ever calm the F down and get a little perspective? Can we cool down the demonization, the de-humanizing bullshit on radio and TV long enough to save our society from complete meltdown?

I sure hope so, cause I can't afford to move to any place better.
