...why are Democrats on the short end of this one? Around 30% of the population owns a gun. Most of those who think it's a good idea. What a block of voters!

...a non-trivial portion of conservative ideals consist of doing nothing and leaving things as they are, more so than I considered appropriate. In the end I came to believe that it is more sensible to steer the boat in a good direction than to just shut off the motor.

If any you are one day elected president, I will lobby for an appointment as Secretary of Analogy.

...range from:
- that won't happen
- that probably won't happen
- if that happens you can talk your way out of it
- if you can't talk your way out it, have ready a can of beans
- if that happens and you've armed yourself, any injuries are your fault
- if that happens and you are the only one injured, it's your own fault

Stop a crime; save a life; yours! If you're in genuine fear for your life, blow the bastard to hell.

Great song by Neil Young. Got to see him and Crazy Horse on their Rust Never Sleeps tour.
Off topic, but I went to Busch Stadium yesterday and saw my Cardinals kick ass over the Nationals.

I like Neil Young. I especially like the Déjà vu album.
Anyone that kicks the Nationals butt is good in my mind.

cheers
