see ya Mr. Heston

Charlton Heston died today. i think it's about time.

of course most people around my age don't know who the hell he is (or was), and no one really seem to give 2 cent about it.

except... well, he sorta looks familiar, hmm... "where have i seen him before?" some of you might ask. well i'm sure an awful lot of you have seen the documentary Bowling for Columbine. if thou hath not, give thyself a big ol' slap across thy face and repeat after moi: thou shalt go to bittorrent and download it NOW.


so now... does the name ring any bells?

"OOH!" you exclaim. that's right. he's the president of the N.R.A. in the U.S. of A. who went to columbine to hold a major gun rally just 7 days after the shooting took place. the N.R.A. or National Rifle Association frankly has very little to do with rifles per se. it generally promotes gun ownership. yep, that includes your assult weapon types too: those PARAs you got in your basement, uh huh, those are included. some Kalashnikovs stowed away in your daughter's room? sure, those too. oh i see you've got some Carbines hanging on the wall, looking good eh... what? you've got bazookas as well? sweet.

you see my logic now? i'd like to think it's pretty irrefutable. gun violence simply will not stop if you've got an organisation full of rednecks who just love to see things get all shot up. or people for that matter. and to make matters worse. they have a renowned oscar winning ex-movie star rooting for their "cause"? gee, charlton must have had some real anger issues as a kid.

so, i guess see you in hell then Mr. Heston.
