Gun porn from the tin-bra set

Some Denver folks are wetting their stepins because Madonna used a gun in one of her acts. Her defense:

In a statement before beginning the tour, Madonna said she does not condone the use of guns. She said she is using the guns as symbols of intolerance and "the pain I have felt from having my heart broken." 

I was about to label that as pure celeb blather. On second thought she has a point.

Now, my heart has been broken here and there, although never in a way that would justify the use of guns. On the other hand, I usually have one handy as -- just as the Material Girl says -- a symbol of intolerance. It symbolizes my intolerance for some subhuman critter who wants to relieve me of my possessions or my life.

'course she stops a stroke shy of fulfillment. If it doesn't work to symbolize, a person can always actualize.

A gun as a symbol of heartbreak?

I'd submit that beautiful .450NE double at the last Indy 1500 that I could never afford nor justify...

One of these days a drilling in 16-bore and one of those NE cartridges is going to lay before me, priced at one cent less than my total liquid capital. It will be the mother of all battles between heartbreak and good sense. :)
