One Reason Not To Join NRA

[HDPM]

The NRA is kind of a weak organization and only moderately pro-gun rights. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Aside from their cowardly positions on some things, internal politics, and constant fund raising, there is a new reason not to join. See, they're really riding Charlon Heston. They propped him up as he was slipping into senility, and now they are sending fundraiser letters using his impending mental demise as a hook. I got the first of the "I am saying goodbye to all of you now while I have moments of lucid thought and am not in Depends yet...." letters yesterday. And I got a glossy photo of Moses hisself holding an empty over under on his shoulder. It is addressed to me personally, given the wonders of computers and fake signatures, and thanks me for my years of friendship. Huh, I never met Heston. Saw him once, but didn't bid to sit next to him at the banquet for 3000 or whatever, although the food was in fact Soylent Green I think. Didn't even get to shake his hand. But I guess we're friends. I can't decide whether to toss the photo or keep it as a souvenir. In 40 years it will be really hilarious and might fetch $4 at my estate sale. I really is gross. It may not be worth being a member if we get this kind of thing everytime his condition gets worse, as I expect we will. Certainly when he dies we'll get some pretty funny stuff asking for money. Eeeeew.
