I had written about when my former husband and I lived in Prescott AZ. and how everyone walked all around carrying guns sticking out of their back pockets. A lot of people that lived there seemed so prejudice, not only in a color of ethnics of a person but in what political party they were in. It was a very scary experience for us...needless to say we move out of Arizona because of all the guns everywhere you went and the "vitriol" and anger and hate. <br /><br />My heart goes out to all involved in this horrific shooting in Tuscon AZ...I am so upset and shocked and hope we wake up and start going another direction in this country..it's "so time".<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />RhiRhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533771985725095499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-23641653369511112522011-01-12T00:04:41.289-08:002011-01-12T00:04:41.289-08:00Very nice.
