I went out with a teacher a few years back.. things were going very well.. we really hit it off. We were having lunch and her family came up.. Dad and brother military.. her niece and nephew.. her other nephew who 'isn't quite right'... She's 'really worried that someday he will be 'that' kid who shoots up a school...'

Needless to say guns came up, been around them her whole life.. knows how to shoot.. doesn't think anyone should need to carry one.. blah blah blah.. things went WAAAAYYY downhill fast after that. Which really sucks..because she was actually pretty cool.. She wasn't liberal either, which left me dumbfounded.

Apparently my distrust of the world and the people in it, the want to defend myself and those around me should the need arise.. just put a stop to it all.

I will never pretend to understand women.
