16. I'm on Ian's side on this one
I got scared about what would happen when kerry won the presidency. Obviously, I needn't have worried. But I do think the violent elements of the right will absolutely flip out when their sick little taste of power gets justifiably, legally taken away from them. I think we saw in the 90s what their ilk was getting up to. That ratcheting of the violence level, not just with McVeigh but also all the murders and shootings of doctors, has I think been lanced by the political heads of the country directing it in outward fashion, in effect aiming the worst human urges at Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. When that is taken away, I very much fear what will become its target. I agree with Protagoras in trying to find a civilized way to deal with the healing that needs to occur, but while doing that I will have my own backup plans, ala Ian.
