Rant away, Ibram, rant away. The more you yell, the smarter I look, or perhaps am. Meanwhile, get your reading done if you really want to run with the big dogs.

Look, I'm anti-gun-control myself, in the spirit of freedom, even though I don't like the things, but given the choice between republicans (take away all your rights but leave the guns) and the democrats (take away your guns but leave all the rest of your rights), too many of you (not you personally, you universal) pick republican.

Uh, you sure about that?? I would say the exact opposite. The world has gotten more liberal over time not more conservative.

But it's still too conservative.

That depends on your perspective. Many would agree with you, but many would disagree with you too.

Yes, but that could be said of anything at all. I will still believe I'm right.

And I believe I am right as well. The world is far more liberal today than it was 20, 40 or 50 years ago. Oh, and not enough picked republican this last election.

No, about 49% too many picked Republicans.

I don't like the Democrats, but they're by far the lesser of two evils.

But until America can really throw off the shackles of the two-party system, other parties are simply impractical to vote for without massive coordinated effort.

...Maggie, I'm relatively on your side on this one. I hate guns with a burning passion, but I'm STILL AGAINST GUN CONTROL. Don't pick on me on this one, calm down.

Calm down? You're the one who's shouting.

I just don't agree that the Dems are the lesser evil. And their stance on gun control is symptomatic of the core problems in their philosophy.

Nor I. Ibbie, you clearly do not yet know yet what guns are, and what guns are not. Experience is about all I can recommend.
