I would love to see the same passion for hungry chldren as is exhibited towards guns! We live in a world of seriously misplaced priorities.

These guns will also be going to a good home since resale will undoubtedly require registration, something they may not have been previously. To destroy the gun might satisfy some people but to resell a gun which might have appeal to a collector is another thing entirely. The revenue derived also helps pay for the program.

No, the difference is quite pronounced between (A) allowing people to destroy their own guns and (B) allowing tax-paid law enforcement to buy guns and destroy them on the taxpayer’s dime.

Can’t wait to see those sand trout emerge. Should hit 100 degrees sometime soon, I bet for May 13, 2013, 5/13/13.

Comment on Write for Fame or Write for Money? Retrospective IV by Karyn_Zoldan

I don’t have a day job anymore so I write because I care about the cause — helping Tucson’s pets, via Tucson Tails. If I can save more dogs and cats or interest people in donating to a needy animal charity or adopting a greyhound — I’m happy. Although, I would be thrilled to be paid too. Fame, feh.

Since I am obviously not writing for money, I must be writing for FAME.

Yes it is the blogger who is deleting comments. Mark Evans and the T/C are gentlemen and honorable.
I was just joking on the prostitution item. I will withdraw that. I am sorry. No blogger makes money, at least in Tucson.

Fraser…that’s an interesting pair of comments. I’m not sure I can agree with you that all writing for money is a kind of prostitution. I don’t think that applies to major literary figures, or reporters, for instance. Propagandists and people who write screed for politicians? Maybe so. Try to remember that in the end there would be little or no art if artists could not somehow be paid for their work.

On the issue of deleting comments I agree completely. That should be a no-no.

In the case you mention it is the blogger who is deleting the comment and not the TucsonCitizen. It has long been the policy here at The Data Port to let every commenter have a go.
