Anyway, I thought that Utopia masturbation was equally ideological to religious ideas. If we can improve this world at all, it will likely take many years.
People are denied effective means of protecting themselves? That's a bit over dramatic don't you think? Its not utopia masturbation, I'm not even talking about a utopia. I'm talking about adequate wages, universal health care, access to education, all which are attainable and in fact being used by other countries around the world. It's no secret that happier, healthier, educated people are less likely to shoot themselves or someone else.
Sorry, didn't really mean to accuse you of masturbation, just trying to get us off that slippery slope which leads to ignoring a very real problem which could likely be resolved this year if good sense prevailed for the distraction of a goal which, if not unrealistic can only be solved in part, will take many years to do that much, and do nothing to help those who will become legally defenseless if the liberals in Congress get what they are working full tilt to force on them.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
