Ban the Pressure Cookers
Rodney Page April 25, 2013
This morning I saw a story on CNSNews.com. In part, it reads:
A local news outlet is reporting that the home-goods retailer, Williams-Sonoma has pulled pressure cookers from their shelves in the aftermath of the Boston attack.
 According to the Dedham Patch, Williams-Sonoma has pulled pressure cookers off the shelves out of respect for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
 …a store manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall says:
 “It’s a temporary thing out of respect.”
There’s nothing funny about last week’s tragedy in Boston, nothing at all.
However, reaction to the bombing further illustrates the absurd and surreal culture in which we now live. Our mindset seems to be things harm people, not other people.
That’s the unspoken theme of the gun control advocates, and now it’s made its way to the most innocuous of the innocuous…the lowly pressure cooker.
I must ask, what respect is shown to victims of the bombing by removing an inanimate, non-thinking, non-feeling kitchen utensil from a store’s shelves?
