that\'s some interesting information todd..
when my mom was having my sister, she spent 5 weeks in the hospital after giving birth because her doctor induced the labor, caused an infection, neglected it and my mom almost died because of that. you definitely have to be careful with some doctors..especially the one who told me i had pink eye when in fact MY CORNEAS WERE SCRATCHED!!!
as for guns, if owned and used responsibly, i have no problem with them. there have been several guns in my house for years and knowing how to load/fire a gun is a great feeling of relief and protection. if some sicko comes in to my house to
**** my dog or something i will know how to kill him
doctors... can\'t live with\'em, can\'t live without\'em
