Watching the news,it seems the different sides are starting a fight that might split the country. There is the election,and there is the Health care law,and then there is the Race/gun law fight,that seems to be heating up to a point where it could really throw a major wrench in what is a divided Country in many ways. Ok,let the discussion begin as to where these things are going,and your personal take on how these things will effect our future.

Re: Squaring off in America
Well, if there is a problem with gun laws, I'll go where the guns go, because... Uhm... That's where the guns will be...Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Re: Squaring off in America
Honestly, I expect a great deal of bitching from both sides, temporary victories on both sides and then for another round of bitching/arguing to start. Barring complete financial collapse, the Union as a whole is pretty durable.
To specific issues, charging Zimmerman with murder should help quiet the race issue down a little and its not a particularly hard charge to arrange. He followed the kid after being told not to. It's difficult for me to believe self defense if you both posssess the option of avoiding the conflict and are specifically advised to do so. I'm all for having guns available and I won't touch healthcare or the election with a half mile pole.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper
"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

I tend to bring a shotgun to a knife fight, and a bazooka to a gun fight. That's why my friends won't let me play any more, but I feel better if I'm the best dressed guy at the party.
Aside from that, I'll just lip synch what MaskedOne says.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
