      Yeah...

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          And we wonder why there's so much gun violence.

            I really dont understand why there is so much. Is it cultural (whether in the black or white or spanish communities)? Access to guns? Breakdown of family?

                I promise you, there are more guns than people in the community where I live. We've had one murder by firearm in the last thirty years.

                  @jolly I get that, but I also think of the statement by President Reagan

                  "We dont arm ourselves because we fear each other. We fear each other because we arm ourselves"

                    You know, I don't think I know that one. Context, please.

                      Yes, that doesn't sound right.

                      If he did say something like that, maybe it was meant on a global scale, armed countries rather than armed individuals.

                        I think what you're talking about is Reagan's speech at the Brandenburg Gate:

                        "But we must remember a crucial fact: East and West do not mistrust each other because we are armed; we are armed because we mistrust each other. And our differences are not about weapons but about liberty."

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                          IOW, not an actual quote, but a stretch of a paraphrase, applied to two widely different situations.
