: Thanks for the links.I wish I could say it was my pleasure, but I get no pleasure even thinking about some of these people!
: Can I just say that America is sick, sick as hell, I do believe it's dying of an illness.
And I can't claim that I'm going to feel too bad about it when it goes. We're basically late Imperial Rome, right now, wallowing in our own success, and constantly striving for stimulation rather than experience. I'm expecting, within my lifetime, that people will pay to have their limbs amputated, just to be able to feel something for once in their lives. You're absolutely right, it's sick, and it doesn't show much hope of getting healthy any time soon. Not that it's all bad, mind you, there are good things about the States, but we're "amusing ourselves to death" pretty rapidly over here.
: The fetishism of these people for something which has absolutely no other purpose than to kill is a bit shocking. I find it hard to believe all that home protection rethoric now about guns being only tools or whatever, it's a way of life to some folk, I strongly suspect the whole protection of property nonsense is just an excuse for trigger happy people who are really itching to kill another human being, Sad isnt it?
Sad indeed. My personal suspicion is that gun fetishists just have really tiny penises and are using the weapons as prosthetics. There are legitimate reasons to own a firearm. Friends of mine work in Alaska, in areas where grizzly bear attacks are common, and I'm glad that feild rules require at least one armed sentry at all times.
But there are no legitimate reasons to own weapons that were designed specifically to kill people. The Glock, the AK, the AR-15, the Uzi, the Mac-10, etc. are designed for the sole purpose of killing human beings. These are not defensive weapons. They are not hunting weapons. (Despite being a vegetarian myself, I can understand hunting for food, although not for "sport." Anybody that thinks killing a deer with an assault rifle is "sporting" doesn't have a clue what sportsmanship is about, IMHO.)
Well, in any case, I hope you can get the scematics thatyou need. Good luck on your presentation.
