   Gee Lee, why don't you tell us how you really feel?   
      
   People can't live without food. Is it time to end the food for   
   profit scam that exists in this country? How about shelter?   
   Can't live without shelter, guess it's time to end that old building   
   and real estate scam.

   No one should be forced to buy health insurance; But if you don't provide for   
   yourself, or pay into some scam run by the government, you should not expect   
   other people to be forced to bail you out.

   So have thousands war vets, street mugging victims and plane crash   
   survivors but I suspect most have put their personal incident behind them and   
   moved on with their lives.   Time for the majority of those Colorado people   
   to, as they say, put your big girl panties on and get over it.   
      
   Take what's his name out behind the barn and execute him. Closure for   
   everyone. Low cost to the taxpayers.

   That is a gross misrepresentation of the NRA.
