Guns and Blubber


So there won't be goo guns, or sonic guns.  This is good.  And the ACLU will wait until after the convention to pursue its lawsuit. Maybe good.  To some degree the armies are standing down a bit, and that can't be bad.

But at the same time, Coyote can't help but notice that squirt guns are now the big concern.  Squirt guns?  If you haven't followed this story, urine trouble.  Anyhow, when goo and sonic guns fade from attention, and squirt guns become the focus, something isn't right. Coyote thinks the issue is not so much the super-soakers, but trust.  In light of this good faith gesture by the city, will the protesters now lay down their water guns? Coyote asks, can we all just get along?

Or maybe it is just boys posturing with their toys.  Like Freud should have said, sometimes a squirt gun isn't just a squirt gun.
