Gun in the Oven

Talking about rage is all the rage. School shootings, kids with guns and drive-bys. Parents are worried about their children. always blaming kids violent actions on music, or video games or music or television.

Here's what's causing it...our statues!

Yup, that's right. Think about it. Kids know TV and video games are just entertainment, but when they go to libraries, field trips or places for learning, there's always that bronzed man with a gun. That's not entertainment. It's setting an example. The statued person could be going into a battle field...or a school cafeteria ... or post office. Who knows? It's confusing.






When you see a statue it's always a man with a weapon. Rarely are there wepon-less statues near government buildings, and rarely women. Men with guns, never women knitting for the homeless. No, in America, if you want a statue for your legacy, you have to kill for it.

The exception to this rule is, of course, this statue of a gun-toting mother on a horse...tenderly breastfeeding her child!
