It seems that the news outlets in the US are going wall-to-wall with the capture of Saddam Hussein. That was a surprise, wasn't it? (Didn't Hussein look like Ted Kaszynsky upon capture?)

Of course with the coverage, there is the obligitory footage of people firing guns into the air in celebration. I'll tell you what: I really don't think that's a good way to celebrate. It is bad for the hearing of the onlookers, as well as dangerous for whoever may be in the path of the bullet as it falls to the ground.

So here I am taking a stand: I don't think that people should fire guns into the air. Forgive me for being so contraversial...
