That's good for the wildlife and marine life..... asshole. Uh, the "stuff" wasn't living, and the sandbars were covered by 6-10' of seawater twice a day. Mostly we blew up milk cartons and empty containers from canned goods, and when we were finished, we picked them up and put them in the trash. We would have done the same for you. -- I'm a liberal because the militant fundamentalist ignorant science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy of modern Republican conservatism just doesn't work for me or my country. |

So you don't think the blast from those cherry bombs would do anything to the marine life around the bars? If so, you are stupid. And if you think "we" can do anything to me, go for it, you fat pig. |

A crazy person will always find a weapon. Do you know how difficult it is to "control" those you are calling "crazy people"? How would you do it? It is not a trivial task, nor should it be, to even commit someone for a three day psych evaluation. Absent such an evaluation, what is your plan? Half the time, those doing the evaluations are nuttier than the patients. |

This is similar to the way we are handling airline security. Instead of targeting terrorists, we target the last weapon they came up with. That does absolutely nothing to stop the next weapon. Guns are designed to kill. Box cutters are designed to open boxes. Ammonium Nitrate was designed to be fertilizer. What's your point? Something that's sole purpose in design is killing vs. anything else. |
