Fun, Fun on the range.

I woke up early this morning and went out shooting with my friends Amanda and Dinko. Amanda had never been shooting before so it was a lot of fun to see her go from frightened out of her wits to just nominally nervous. I was going to post pictures of the event, but Amanda refuses to allow me to post pictures of her shooting. I'm going to continue to harass her until she lets me, but for now I'll just put this one pick of Dinko shooting his shotgun. I'll put one of Amanda later after I get my way. ;)

You're right about one thing: I was scared out of my wits at first! As far as getting me to agree to post my pic, you're wrong about that- it's not going to happen :) Anyway, it was a good time, and I'm glad I agreed to go with you guys.; April 5, 2008 at 10:50 AM

Oh, so mother nature needs a favor? Well, maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys. --Mr. Burns (Simpsons)
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." --John Stewart Mills
No man... can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which one may be true. --Hawthorne (as quoted in Sopranos)
Uneducated people delight in argument and fault-finding, for it is easy to find fault, but difficult to recognize the good and its inner necessity. Education in its early stages always begins with fault-finding, but when it is complete, it sees the positive element in everything. In religion, it is equally easy to say that this or that is superstition, but it is infinitely more difficult to comprehend the truth which it contains. --Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. --Bertrand Russell
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. --Thomas Jefferson
Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one. --Charles Mackay
A man who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary. --Seneca
He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. --Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. --Sartre
