Why I want to write a book

Pro-Life <+>? Am I missing something?
    I was raised in a very fucked up conservative
  Catholic family. Dad was cold and distant when he
  was sober.. He wore pressure stockings, because
  of all the hours he spent standing, while teaching
  and at his second job as a mailman. Yeah, he needed
  the dispatcher job at night at the South Postal
  Annex in Boston to support his family. Teacher's get
  lousy pay and no protection from their criminal
  students. . Dad had to have mom drive his station
  wagon to school and the post office. His students
  flattened his tires and poured bear in the gas tank.
  I was a target of student reprisals too as were my
  older brother and sisters.. High school was a toilet
  swirly and a punch in the gut for me.

    I got beat up by two .. African American girls.
  I was in a big hurry for some class I never needed
  and I made a big mistake. I pushed the two..
  African American girls aside, walking in front of
  me.. Those girls clocked me. I was curled up in a
  ball, while they kicked me repeatedly. A circle of
  my classmates watched and cheered them on.. I was
  sent to the hospital and then home with cracked
  ribs. The police did not arrest the girls, who stated
  I assaulted them. No charges were filed.

    When I got home I took down my dad's Lee Infield 
  rifle an seriously thought about going to school
  with it. I wanted revenge, but something stopped me.
  Perhaps, it was all those sermons at Saint Peter's
  Church or I just didn't believe I could pull it off.
  A Lee enfield rifle is a bolt action. It takes a lot
  of skill to fire it rapidly. Today, I can purchase
  an assault rifle that fires hundreds of bullets in
  seconds. If I had access to an assault rifle
  after my humiliating stomping in high school, I
  might have done something terrible. But, fortune
  favored the fool.

    Hmmm. If your pro-life, how can you be in favor
  of private ownership of machine guns?
  I honestly do have neighbors, who own assault rifles
  that fire, like machine guns. Is that safe?
  Police have been called to their homes to break up
  domestic disputes. Can you see the danger here-ya?
  Jeeze! Those bullets can travel miles and go through
  walls.

    So, Muzzy, gets shot eating his Frosted Flakes
  and he never hears the shot. That's dope!
  I have another neighbor, who owns a Sherman tank.
  He drives it on the highway to tracker pull events.
  Seriously?!

    Jim Carrey you have my vote.. But, you weren't
  born in America.. Oy.. Were doomed.

  Peace out.
