We've all dreamed that one day the government would commission our talents of.... whatever.... and ask that we aid in the man hunt of an insane terrorist or group of terrorists who wish to blow up some important building, some where important. Yes, I know you have, as well as I, imagined that you too were like James Bond and now you can be. This is by far the best piece of news I have heard and/or read, ever. However, there are people trying to shut down our dreams and all I have to say to them is this "What in the world could possible be dangerous about a bunch of 30 something, video game enthusiast, assassin wanna bes running around a city, hunting their opponents for a chance to snipe shoot them with a water gun and be the last standing assassin?" It's okay, I don't need an answer from them because it's NOTHING. Nothing is the answer. Here's a quote from FoxNews.com - Chicago police warn that StreetWars is a risky business in this post-9/11 world, calling it “irresponsible” and saying it “infringes on the public’s safety.” And here's another quote - "So far, however, no one has been seriously injured — one person sprained an ankle once, according to the Supreme Commander."
If anyone did get hurt during the duration of this game whether they're a player or not - they would have to be instantly deemed a total looser, waste of space and frankly a hazard to humanity. In all my years of squirt gun use, never, ever have I witnessed anyone, even an innocent bystander be injured. Except the occasional crying little kid that didn't want to be held down and squirted in the face, I doubt that anyone in the history of squirt gun use has a horror story about how they now have to eat their food through a straw because some one got careless and rowdy with a water filled toy gun.
This brings me to a very serious note - which has not happened on this blog yet - anyway, the serious note being that we can not and should not crawl away to homes and hide in the darkness as some expect us to do "in this post-9/11 world." That's what being a terrorist is all about, terror, scarring people into submission, turning our culture focus to fear. Sure, yes, we need tight security at our borders, at our airports and municipal buildings, that I can understand. But that doesn't mean we have to stay inside and hide under our beds or simply stop everything we're doing, lock up all the fun and throw away the key. For those of you who think we're kicking the crap out of terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places, take a long hard look at the laws that have been passed in our own country for the sake of "safety." Look at how things have changed and tell me who you think is really winning the war on terror.
You just have to love those dumb people in Massachusetts, especially the firefights.
Well folks, it looks like this is drawing to a close. But before I go, I just want to say something to all those folks reading this and not leaving any comments..... Thank you for reading my blog, however, the funnest part about this whole thing for me is reading the responses to my posts - especially when the people writing them try to be as funny as I am but fail miserably. So, if you wish to indulge in the pleasure that is my blog (wow that sounded dirty) then you must leave me a comment or I will track you down and egg your house. With that said, enjoy the rest of the day and remember, don't drink and drive because you might spill your beer.
Tip of the Day: Get The Girl

It's not that hard to woo a girl. Just put as much effort into it as you do into fantasy football and you'll do great. Read installment 2 of Calling All Nice Guys

About Me

- selizabethg
- I'm a woman in my mid 20s living alone in a less than fantastic apartment with a dog that has chronic allergies. For the first time in my adult life I’m nobody’s other which means killing spiders and shoveling snow all on my own. I’m the baby of a “Brady Bunch” family with 3 brothers and a sister all of which are married with children and I take great joy in being an aunt and not a mother.; at this point any how. I’m not your typical girl although I do girly things from time to time. I love to write, hence this blog and Paper Seduction, my poetry site. And I’m just trudging through life, finding fun and hoping the universe gives me a break … of any kind.
