Some People Just Can't Stand to See Other People Have Run

     Case in point:  In a suburb of Detroit, there is no law against people owning their own personal flamethrowers. Several companies make the things and sell them in the area. These flamethrowers are advertised to be great for recreation (I can't for the life of me conjure up an image of that), for weed control, insect control, clearing ice, snow, brush, and starting bonfires. Very handy things. 

     Now the mayor of this suburb is trying to get flamethrowers banned. Why? Because he believes the devices are dangerous and could damage property, cause house fires, and cause injury or death.

     He claims it is "Unthinkable that such a device would be sold to the general public."

     Just an aside here:  Someone with that low of an opinion of his constituency should probably not hold political office. Just my opinion.

     He goes on to say that things like these flamethrowers could be used by bad people for bad things.

     So lets make a list of things that could also be used for a similar purpose:

     Matches

     Candle lighters

     Fireplace lighters

     Cigarette lighters

     And just a couple other things that have been used by bad people to do bad things:

     Hammers

     Kitchen knives

     Automobiles

     Water

     This mayor is going to be busy.

How Do You Know When You've Shot Your Last Selfie?

     This may be a little ghoulish but certainly a good example of what not to do.

     A young man in Texas was in the process of taking a selfie. Part of the pose was him holding a gun. Evidently, he got confused between clicking the shutter and pulling the trigger. He chose the latter. He did not survive the mistake.
