At the end of "The Bridge on the River Kwai," the lone person alive surveys the wreckage of the fallen bridge and the fallen men, looks at the camera and says, "Madness."
Madness is alive and well in Tucson, Arizona. The Republican Party in Tucson thought they needed a fundraiser. They decided to have a lottery and raffle a gun. So far not wise, but okay. However, the gun the Tucson Republicans chose to raffle was a Glock, the same model used to shoot beloved Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in the head and to kill six people.
I am 67 years old and have never seen a political move that reflected such insensitivity, stupidity and "madness!"
Whoever came up with that idea should go far away for a long, long time.
