I replied to your well-reasoned post.

Ahoy! A reply.

Quantumushroom, I presume you base your views regarding gun control on the inconsequential short term effects of gun control legislation on crime rates, most likely tested as a policy in various US states and typically cited by the NRA and various pro-gun lobbies supporting their industrial constituencies.

Washington DC: near-total "gun control" and highest murder rate in the US. The long-term failure of 60,000+ ill-conceived American gun laws on the books that only keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens is my proof that it doesn't work. "Gun-free zones" don't work. What works: burglars and carjackers thinking twice in states with concealed carry laws.

You should try living in a country which has utterly insignificant gun ownership levels due to restrictions on ownership over a sustained period. Perhaps then you would not think that every law abiding citizen needs a gun for his or her protection and would be more than satisfied with the protection police, or privately hired security guards for business purposes can provide for you.

America's Second Amendment is not about "needing" a gun, it's about recognizing self-defense as a fundamental human right from God (or for you atheists, "by the virtue of human birth"). It doesn't matter why anyone wants to own a gun and its none of the State's business.

BTW congratulations liberals, on the Clintons' recent confession to being part of the Evil Rich. Hell, I thought they couldn't be worth more than what, 10 million? Does anyone know how much of their 100 million dollars they've personally spent helping the poor?

I don't know about everyone else but I find this incredibly overblown. In fact, I find the US media as a whole latches onto and over exaggerate anything that could potentially viewed as a racist remark.

What is so necessarily racist about suggesting that being black may have aided his campaign? I'm sure some people see the potential of him becoming president as some kind of cultural transcendence towards acceptance, as an eloquent figurative act of rejecting the vile, abhorrent history of slavery and racism. I'm sure in the same way the potential for electing Hilary would represent a similar rejection of past misogyny, a way to make a definitive statement to the world, at a time where US world sympathy is at its lowest. I'm sure under that kind of support there a multitude of policy positions they agree on with their chosen candidates as well as a plenitude of bullshit issues such as how photogenic they are and whether they come across as amicable or overbearing.

Now doesn't accusing Hilary of not further denouncing the comments of someone who has already disenfranchised themselves from her campaign not asking just a tad too much?

Certainly doesn't deserve this tirade as far as I see it ...

ahoy! I replied to your comment. its late, so it might have been... terse.

He features the 'tough nut to crack' at the end but I don't see any proof that that is how it happens or that he really did it in that way. I really wish it were that easy. If only we could appeal to them in this way we could solve the problems of the world. Call=BS.

Ahoy! I replied (in a rather surly way, for some reason... too much coffee?) to your comment!

Cheers!

I don't understand why they're so popular. In my personal opinion, their compositions are all ridiculously bland. The drumming lacks any sort of zest at ALL. I generally expect a "professional musician" to display a lot more skill than that. Be creative, etc. Seriously, she seems like she's totally incapable of focusing on more than three parts of the set at once.
