Re: OT: Ok, there really is nothing to see here. Except me making a fool of myself.
real? its highly euphamistic. its not a modernization of events, its a complete re-immagining of events for specific political goals. the analogies that are being made are completely irresponsible.
Brigham Young and Aaron Burr both wanted to carve out their own piece of empire, but no one points to them as shining examples of why the populous should be armed.
even pretending that events leading to the revolution are analogous to modern assault weapons issues and michigan millitia type organizations is absurd. I dont mind the debate, but I think people should qualify their arguements a bit better.
And its not that im for disarming the public, but i would prefer if that armed public was educated and responsible. unfortuneately, they are not.
sleeping through history, indeed...
