im listening. i think that if this (gun control) debate cant be
solved here, it probably wont be solved anywhere... and i think it should be
solved. somebodys opinion has to be more right, and i say we figure out what
opinion that is.
fuck this "lets just ignore this freedom/security question cuz it
adds a few more items to my inbox" shit! there is a problem here, and i think
it can be resolved, here and now. i think a course of action can be resonably
agreed upon.
let evidance be presented! let sources be cited! let arguments be,
um, argued! shit, even let the flames be thrown! i dig seeing things like
joe's wordsmithery even if i dont agree with the points all the time...
i guess i have no problems with insults, because rational people
should have nothing to fear from them, and so should be able to solve
problems while giving and recieving em right n left... (eg bustamove 4, arhat
;) and i have reason to think that those involved in this debate are, at
rootshell, pretty rational people.
tech? fuck yea, tech is woderfull... and talking about it is
neccassary. but if youve got a tool and ya dont know how best to use it,
youve gotta problem. thus, politics.
really diggin http://www.moller.com/ 'skycar' concept,
