The NRA's School Safety Plan

Well the National Rifle Association spokesperson, Wayne Lapierre is once again ‘shooting’ his mouth off.

After the governor of Connecticut took a step in the right direction by signing into law some of the toughest gun legislation in the country, Mr. Lapierre took to the air waves to denounce the legislation that bans the sale of only some weapons and large capacity ammunition clips.

Mr Lapierre’s response to almost anything these days is, “more guns”. Mr. Lapierre would like to see an armed guard in every school in America. As we all know, there was an armed guard at Columbine. How’d that work out? It was ineffective, that’s how. So the NRA would also recommend that teachers should be packing guns. Wow, what a nurturing environment for a child to learn in.

I guess Mr. Lapierre will next be suggesting the students themselves have their own AR-15 propped against their desks, and a 30 round clip in their pencil boxes.

Today's Cartoon - Pressure Washers

Well, it's pressure washing season in my neighborhood.

It's the time of year when you can not escape the constant drone of one neighbor or another's pressure washer. They seem to run all day long. Each neighbor takes about a couple of days to complete the washing of their houses, patios, driveways, sidewalks etc. (And yes, I'm guilty of it too) I too am guilty of dragging out the gas-powered noise machine and sending gallons upon gallons of clean drinkable water down the drain.

But since reading National Geographic's 'Water' Issue, my way of looking at pressure washers is starting to change drastically.

In many developing countries people, mostly women and children, have to walk an average of 3.7 miles for water.

Check out United Nations International Decade for Action 'WATER FOR LIFE' 205-2015 for more interesting water related facts.

Anyway, that's a long winded description of what inspired today's cartoon.







10th Anniversary of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill

Today's Cartoon.

 



10th Anniversary of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill and our politicians are still trying to convince us that accidents never happen.

 

How does that old saying go? Those who don't remember history are bound to soak their pristine coastline in crude oil? Something like that.

No Endangered Species Legislation for British Columbia Grizzly Bears

Today's cartoon.

  

Things to make you shake your head:

 

"Grizzly bears are at risk of disappearing completely from many parts of Western Canada, including all of southern B.C. and the South Coast Mountains, as well as a few subpopulations in west-central Alberta, unless immediate action is taken to list and protect them under the federal Species at Risk Act," said Faisal Moola, a scientist with the David Suzuki Foundation. "We must protect this iconic symbol of Canadian wilderness, which plays such a critical role in the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem," he added.

No endangered species legislation for BC grizzly bears, and Canada's federal government still has not added them to the species at risk act.
