    Your view on gun laws...?

    PureX, I don't think either one of us is going to convince the other, and I don't want to shut everyone else out of the thread. I may be oversimplifying, but I think you tend to trust governments but tend to distrust individuals. I tend to trust individuals but tend to distrust governments.

    What do we gain by having a vote?

    I'd say that with the current American system, most votes are based on who delivers the goodies or who is the least bad choice.:eek:

    Your view on gun laws...?

    continued. I always liked L. Neil Smith's idea that insurance companies should be the ones providing driver's licenses. The states with concealed carry laws have a lower violent crime rate per capita. If we were talking about honoring the spirit and intent, I would agree with you. But...

    Your view on gun laws...?

    But it is a disagreement. I suspect that you are using what I call the French model of liberty, where rights are defined by group and granted by a higher authority to members of that group. I'm using what I call the American model where rights exist even if they haven't been defined, and the...

    Your view on gun laws...?

    I'd have to disagree with you there. Government's only justifiable reason is to protect the rights of the individual. The real question is what constitutes a "reasonable government." For example, you could argue that American's are freer today than we were in the 1950s because of the...

    Pagans & Magic

    Hmm, complicated. I think that the ideas of "natural" and "supernatural" arose from the assumption that Man was seperate from Nature. "Supernatural" depends on the definition of "natural." If you had told me when I was twelve that I would have access to a massive computer network that...

    Your view on gun laws...?

    I wanted to see how this thread would shape up. I think it says a lot about the people here that 1) they can discuss this rationally without getting in each other's faces, and 2) some of you recognize that inherent danger in giving government the authority to decide who gets to have a gun...

    Hey ho!

    "Pagan philosopher, libertarian, and part time troublemaker." That's how I usually introduce myself because I believe in being honest. There are a few other details. I am a recovering Corporate Clone. Rabid Macintosh user. Palm PDA addict. I'm one of the few Pagans who doesn't accept that...

    9/11 inside job was predicted then. RED ALERT FOR A NEW STAGED 9/11

    Oh my. SDI didn't begin until 1983 under President Reagan. President Carter especially was against any missle defense system, both during his Presidency and afterwards.

    Were the Navajo Behind 9/11?

    Umm, hate to throw cold water on the party, but the Diné don't have any casinos. Yet. As far as conspiracies, I'm holding out for the truth about Elvis and the fleet of flying saucers that Georgle Lucas and Steven Spielburg are trying to hide.

    Is Gun Control Racist?

    Hello folks. I'm the guy who posted the article. Actually I am citing someone else there. I'm a reluctant gun advocate, mainly because the alternatives are worse. It's not something that I woke up one morning and decided. It's something that I argued and debated and struggled with for a...
