My daughter had her B-day Tuesday (19th), and thanks to Facebook, I was involved along with her many many friends (two from high school) that I practally raised. wishing her a happy b-day, and able to see her pic's from her trip speaking to the New York Times on "Emotional Intelligence", (second visit) and pic's from the Metropoliton Museum and her exciting life in general....she is so busy, we get to see one another once or twice a year, happy for skype. Give thanks for my health, eyes getting better, and that I am able to care for, work and do for myself.....have wishes for this country, and happy my cousin Dianne Feinstein will remain in the senate another term, fighting the new administration. and the NRA...she is 82, my wish is for a safe country for all.
Absolutely not. Those who misuse firearms should be prosecuted; just as those who misuse motor vehicles, poison, knives, bicycles, and drugs.@Irene_L.A. wrote:
I don't believe the second amendment meant shooting innocent people and children to death...just saying.
I REMOVED ALL POSTS CONCERNING MY FAMILY AND WHAT I THINK IS GOOD NEWS, THANKS TO YOU.@LIJake wrote:
Well, this good news thread got diverted to politics pretty quickly. Bad move Irene, mentioning your cousin and her negative position concerning the President and the NRA. The best you will get is a 50/50 response.

Irene, I think you missed the point. You hi-jacked the thread by introducing a political viewpoint. It doesn't matter what the viewpoint is and whether i agree or disagree. As a matter of fact, I didn't state my view.
If you want to get into a hissy-fit, delete posts and vow to never again post about family subject matters, that is your prerogative. By the way, do you think shouting in caps makes your position stronger?
I need to thank you for your intelligent reply to what was (to me) a total put down. I lived in San Francisco when Dianne was mayor, the family rejoiced when she got accepted to Stanford...she spoke at my Brother-in-laws funeral...beside politics she has always given and served the community. This is just too personal for me.@CABZmom wrote:
Just another thought.
Context is everything.
Remember the Senator's history and how she rose to national prominence. I never saw the movie Milk, but I remember when it happened.
I did not infer that Irene was being purely political by any means. The fight is part of who the Senator is. Irene is proud of her cousin and at least some of what she has stood for and fought for. You should never assume she agrees with everything. It just so happens that it does involve a polarizing subject. In the news lots. Remember some of the recent west wing pics with the seating arrangement. Faux dialogue or not, it was a dialogue.
Resist the impulse for the reflexive reaction and retreating into tribal corners.
Put the pause button on for a moment and if that is something that Irene wishes to celebrate, then let it be celebrated.
And didn't Reagan sign a gun control bill in CA after the Black Panthers posed for pics on the Sacramento Capitol steps back in 1968ish?? What was wrong with gun control then?
You high jacked the thread with your comments instead of contributing something positive of your own,why turn my post into something it wasn't. Different opinions count.@LIJake wrote:
