Adult Proofing the World


Amazon.com's share price rose 4% this week on news that some mentally ill 19 year old gunned down 8 people in a suburban mall. We all hate going to the mall and may harbor such thoughts but we are not that mentally ill as to premeditate such behavior. In reality our national bi-monthly shooting rampage is not enough to have driven AMZN's market capitalization to $39 billion this week. The reason is that the country is populated by morons who feel that all malls should now have airport like security. I wish I was kidding. Can you imagine the experience of going to the mall with the added horror of dealing with TSA like schmucks?

MSNBC give us a choice.

Full disclosure: The price of amzn may be affected by other events.

isn't the simple solution just to deputize and arm the thousands of santas deployed at malls this time of year?

yeah or as one of my friends suggested, hand out flak jackets upon entry

my sense is that most santas already are packing a lil too much heat
