This excerpt from yet another gun control argument is yet another example of Happy Monkey's eloquence. I read this post, and all the others in this context many times before I decided to put this part in the HoF. Many times, too many times, the discussion transforms into an argument, which is ok, but then continues to decay into a shouting match. One of the saddest responses in these situations is the assertion that since "it says so right there in the Constitution / Bill of Rights" that the discussion is closed. Such a reaction is a desperate tactic to end the discussion, not to persuade the other side. Even if the other side is unpersuadable, even if the discussion is "freaking boring", closing the discussion this way, only shows a closed mind. Retire from the discussion if you wish, but realize that the discussions and the decision will continue despite your abdication. The Constitution is a starting point, not a finish line. "All just power is derived from the consent of the governed." -- John Locke. There can be no consent without discussion. Silence is *not* assent.

That's not true. I drag out the constitution when I get tired of hearing the same shit, over and over and over and over and over again. Dragging it out says no, I don't care how many times you say it, the constitution says I don't have to do what you want. End of story.

I'm totally makin' a T-shirt out of that :::adds dark printable iron-ons to shopping list:::
I've also considered getting a white coated head for the front of my bass drum and painting that design onto it.

Honored, but don't attribute that to me -- it was made and printed by protesters who held them up outside the courthouse where the two ad placers were taken. I just found it in the news clutter during the day's events.

Yeah. Feed 'em to the lions once in awhile. It keeps 'em humble.

Flint has a...quirky sense of humor, and most of his posts demonstrate this. They often draw attention away from his more intelligent and articulate remarks, like this one. I'm happy the clown mask slipped down, and I look forward to more wardrobe malfunctions such as this.
