Mark this down as "I wish I had thought of that." Just after I posted on facebook that we ought to have the right to carry peaches (it was a lame attempt to show the absurdity of the 'right to bear arms' lunacy), I saw
this post from Rose about her experience of carrying a water-gun to a healthcare reform rally in Washington D.C. Awesome! The full story and pics can be found on her blog: http://rosemarieberger.com/2009/08/20/water-gun-rights-at-healthcare-reform-rally/
I like her reasoning for carrying the water gun...
I’m taking a comic approach to a very serious issue. This country needs health-care reform now. It must have 1) a public option, 2) it must provide accessible and affordable insurance for everyone who is uninsured or under-insured, and 3) it should contain clear ‘conscience clauses’ around the issues that are morally sensitive. We need health-care reform now.

Rose is a hero (or shero, I guess) extraordinaire. One of the very best things about being in Washington was connecting with her. She is 100% authentic. I loved this -- and they investigated her daisy pistol, for crying out loud.
Nothing like adding a little humor to a serious topic. GO DAN GO - When you're on the treadmill pretend you are heading toward the goaline for a touchdown like the old days!! Frank Sperry
