this is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?
No, but I learned how to tolerate boredom for a looong time.
I also did a lot of what I imagine meditation to be: just sitting still and letting the thoughts flit by.
They say meditation is a good stress reducer, so maybe it was slightly beneficial?
And then I quit going once I was an adult, so it might have been stressful listening to the same thing for 30 years.
But, no, can't say I ever enjoyed them. Our bookstudy never even had goody night. Everyone just went right home. :(

Hadriel, sorry if I misunderstood. I never thought you were advocating drugs. I took your comment as being pro drug decriminalization.
I actually think there's some evidence that that might be a good thing, to take drug enforcement money and shift it to treatment.
I apologize if I misconstrued your comparison.
the arc are indeed a patient lot who don't pressure.
they make sure a person feels safe.
they don't hold back with legal information either.
Interesting that you said that money talks.
Sad that the horror of abused children isn't enough for them to change their ways; it takes the threat of losing their precious money to get them to do anything about it.

Redvip, I gave you a like for acknowledging my concerns while sharing yours.
I hear your fears about home invasions, and while I'm not sure handgun ownership is the answer, I respect your opinion.

Harvard, we agree on some things, others we don't.
I don't believe that the 2nd amendment gives carte blanche for anyone to own any weapon.
The purpose was to establish a well-regulated militia, emphasis on well-regulated.

Juan, I didn't make the comparison between gun laws and drug laws.
Hadriel did.

Redvip, I would say to you that gun culture is different throughout the US, as well. I live in Maryland where handguns just are not a big part of the culture. The only open carry I've seen is on law enforcement and it's really difficult to get a concealed carry permit. And I like it that way.
Sometimes I feel like we are talking about 2 different countries when I hear the vehement differences in opinion over firearms. But, there's not, there's two different gun cultures.
I don't come from an area where there is a strong gun culture (other than for hunting) and other parts of the US have a strong gun-culture.
Sometimes I think that itself is a reason for such heated opinions on both sides.

That's interesting. Usually the pro-gun lobby aren't approving of drug legalization.
Might be an inconsistency there.

Glad you're teaching your kids gun safety.
I personally wouldn't have a loaded shotgun in my bedroom. Anybody could be tall enough to reach it with a step-stool.
I think it's important to keep a gun unloaded until you intend to use it.
Good on you for using a gun lock and storing the clip in a separate place, as well as getting a gun safe. They're expensive, but a good investment safety.
