Second Amendment and NRA Under Fire: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ?

After the horrific shooting in Tucson, the country has to reflect on our laws about personal weapons and license to carry. Whether or not you agree with bearing arms for personal protection or not, it is the Second Amendment of out countries Constitution. Of coarse in a perfect world weapons would not exist but this is not a Utopia. At this point, even if the government created a law against owning personal arms all together, there will always be a black market for fire arms. A lot of crimes committed with fire arms are with illegal fire arms, not always by those who do it the right way, with a license to carry. Fire arms and right to bear arms is not going to go away. The question is not how to make guns go away but how can we regulate and keep them out of the hands of the criminals and lessen the black market of illegal weapons. There are a million ways and opinions to think about.... WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? I love to hear what everyone thinks!

Photography Essay by Marie Pasch

A Spoon Full Of Sugar: Arianna Tatum: "A few new photos to add to the Arianna Tatum Project. loserface @ flickr.com Check it out."

This series is touching and brings attention to the topic of suicide. Photographer Marie Pasch created this series after the death of young woman named Arianna Tatum. She worked with the family and friends to create a photography essay about what happens when a loved one leaves this world unexpectedly. She also provides a look at our human nature to remember and memorialize places for a person once their gone. This series is very successful and Marie plans to continue working in this genre.
