as “too pro-gun.”

Or a little pregnant. You either support an individual’s right to own a gun and defend him/her-self. Or you don’t.

On another note, I wish someone would get buggy/stroller manufacturers to start installing “deadman” brakes on every unit. On Sunday, I stopped a runaway stroller–the tenth time or so in my life that I did–when a young mother with toddler-in-tow didn’t notice the grade. You can have the idea for free or send Attila Girl a few dozen cases of premium gin. Simple blade-type brakes)like on a wheel chair), spring-loaded, normally on, would do. Make a nice, two-piece molded handle where a gentle squeeze would release the brakes, and not tire the mother with gripping pressure. Simple? Yes. What’s the hangup? Liability issues in case of failure? Have Nancy Pelosi grant a “Good Samaritan” waiver.

Perhaps the idea is a sort of “survival of the fittest” thing–the infant should notice that his/her stroller is going too fast, and jump out.

Wow. Ten times. Crazy.

Darwin’s kids might have jumped except for the bundling.

There’s a PBS show “Modern Edisons” where one of the “inventions” is a stroller/play platform. Some one should tell them to add press-to-release brakes. It’s got to start somewhere.

None of my “saves” was as dramatic as the Costner/Garcia scene in “The Untouchables”. Only one was right before a busy street. And, no, I never had anything to do with the stroller pusher–just a random bystander. . . walking uphill.

How funny: it did make me think about that scene in the movie, to see your remark. Classic.

Attila girl is my kind of girl! I think I’m in love (or I have a great case of lust going on)!
