You got it Arlo. I don't feel safe with some yahoo-nation states in
this world being able to own air missile launchers and such.
[Arlo]
So your solution is to let every yahoo in the world have access to
missile launchers and tanks and such?? Okay, well, we're gonna have
to agree to disagree on this point. I am 100% behind allowing
sportsmen to own guns to hunt and families to own weapons to protect
themselves, but I draw a line. You and Platt seem to want no line,
and I envision with dread the day my local Ford dealer is an Abrams
dealer and every yahoo (self included) can get drunk, mad or whatever
and loft a missile at someone's house. If you think that's a safer
world, well, let's just agree to disagree on that.

Anyways, mel hit the point home as to how easy it is to make a bomb
and stuff.
[Arlo]
Sure, that terrorist McVeigh showed that its possible, but its still
not "easy". Would it be better if we sold 3mt bombs in BoxMart? How
much destruction do you think McVeigh could have done if he could've
stopped off at BoxMart, picked up a few sidewinder missiles and drove
off with them in an Abrams tank?

Smooth, calm talkin' Obama dupt ya/ suckered ya.
[Arlo]
No one suckered me, and that includes Ron Paul (btw). The changes you
talk about will only occur as the result of an openly violent
revolution, and I think we are quite a ways from that. Remember that
the majority of gun owners BACKED the Patriot Act, so their help
would've been not coming, and indeed they would've sided with the
Bush Administration. You can get yourself all in a tizzy about
revolution and dismantling the current system from the ground up, but
you're only painting yourself into the lunatic fringe corner. I say
that with true compassion, because change IS needed, but it will not
come until the war of ideas is won, and people are ready to step away
from their status quo consumerist lives and get involved. Using
Marx's words, our population is nearly fully opiated. Until more wake
up, there is little any one person can do but work within the system
for the better of potential outcomes along the way. If you think
McCain would've been the better choice, then you were justified in
voting for him. I disagree. But the choice HAD to be one of them,
there was no other viable choice, and there won't be for quite
sometime. It sucks, but don't go mental about it. Eventually aliens
will enslave us (or eat us) anyways, so take each day as it comes,
when we are working the borax mines on a deep space asteroid or being
served with tarragon for giant space squid's noon-day snacks we will
long for the day a one-world government was the greatest of our worries.
[Woods]
That's what I'm praying for.
[Arlo]
Our military is comprised of good people, so I'd be fairly moved to
say they'd stand with us.
[Woods]
Do you mean the civilians or military of Canada for Canada's recent
policies have been moving quickly to join the global community?
[Arlo]
America alone against the world, eh?
