Quote:Brian Ellison, a Libertarian Party candidate for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, doesn’t think much of this week’s high school walkout campaign to protest gun violence.
He does, however, back a plan to get more guns into the hands of homeless people.

Hey, the well and truly sane segment of the homeless population will find uses for those guns. They can defend themselves against their hallucinations.

Let's arm schoolchildren, too.
That way they get the real experience when playing cowboys amd native Americans.

"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

Why stop at the homeless and schoolchildren? We could set up programs to arm scorned cuckolds, the chronically inconvenienced, people whose Xanax dealers have been arrested, store clerks with bad attitudes, customers at Ladies' Night at bars throughout the country, the elderly with dementia . . . the list goes on and on. There's no end to the good we could do with such a sound policy.

I really want to get back to a time where shit like this surprises me, but it does not. Something to be combated absolutely, but unfortunately not surprising.

You ever notice people who aren't in touch with reality almost ALWAYS project how out of touch they are on other people?
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Why am I thinking of Max Headroom ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'd say it is those proposing the recreation of 50s television western who don't understand a reality.

Indeed, the power of any force for social change comes from the fact that while the established has the means to protect their previleging and exploit others, they also have a lot to lose. The exploited really has little to lose and they must be prevented from rallying through the trickery of god, country and the duplicitous notional and unproductive “freedom”. Once the smoke screens of god, country, and freedom has been penetrated, it is those with nothing to lose that are truly to be feared, not those with many means but much to protect.
One of the reasons why Islamist suicide bombers are so terrifying to the West is the subconscious recognition that many under Islam has nothing to lose and know it.
When the right wing scream socialism at any perceived challenge to the untremmeled privilege conferred by wealth, they neglect to understand the power of all the left leaning social upheavals in modern history, however they turned out, were never in the more radical concepts of their ideological leaders. The powers were always from the smaller legitimate grievances of the followers that were not addressed at the right times.
Those with privilege, by fighting tooth and nail to retain every last part of it, are responsible in the end for losing most or all of it in the upheaval.
