[Mpls] Re: Expand the gun ban to include lobbyists and lawyers

2003-06-06 Thread Tim Bonham
Quote (semi-accurate) from an old Bob Dylan song:

Oh, there's bandits and there's bankers,
Some rob you with a six-gun, and some with a fountain pen.
But I've never seen a bandit
Throw a family from their farm.
Tim Bonham, Ward 12, Standish-Ericsson

What's the difference if someone holds a gun to your head and demands
your money, or if they hire a lobbyist or lawyer to do the same?
I say BAN ALL GUNS, LOBBYISTS, AND LAWYERS!!!

Personally, I'm more afraid of lawyers than I am of guns.

To quote accurately from an even earlier version.

And it is through this world I travel
I've seen lots of strange men
Some will rob you with a six-gun
And Some will rob you with a fountain pen
But'll you'll never meet an outlaw
Who'll drive a family from their home
