People unclear on the concept

The youngest Nobel prize winner ever who is a brave young woman fighting for the right to education despite being shot in a murder attempt:

Of course, we have the village idiots trying to persuade people that a young woman who showed bravery and conviction despite being shot has something to do with allowing guns on campus.  Additionally, this was a young woman who was deemed worthy of a Nobel Prize.

Wow, who is calling whom a twit?

You know who else thought she was a "twit"? The Taliban.

And Afghanistan was as Stateless as you could get under the Taliban.

Trust me, these people aren't the brightest stars in the firmament.

Special quote of the day

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai is someone who can say that guns don't give anyone power.

On the afternoon of 9 October 2012, Malala boarded her school bus in the northwest Pakistani district of Swat. A gunman asked for Malala by name, then pointed a Colt 45 at her and fired three shots. One bullet hit the left side of Malala's forehead, traveled under her skin the length of her face and then into her shoulder.
 

Let's toss in that Pakistan, especially where Malala is from, is awash in guns.

So, if guns give freedom: explain Pakistan!

And where is the British Genocide?

Anyway, given Pakistan's gun culture, the fact that Malala was shot, and that she is now a Nobel Peace Prize winner, I will post this special quote of the day.

Quote of the Day from Malala Yousafzai

In case you don't know who Malala Yousafzai is, she is the young woman who was shot by the Taliban for protesting a ban on female education.  She lives in the Swat District of Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.  That is a place that has a similar attitude toward the "right to bear arms" that the gun loons profess.


She made this comment at Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year Awards.

Nothing like living under the gun.

If that's your idea of freedom--I'll take the alternative.
