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.

[Woods]
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?
