I'm frankly amazed the assassinations haven't started already. Oh, yeah; right: the Democrats are the ones who are pro-gun-"control".

Um, lets keep talk of assasinations off of LWN, please? Thanks.

You're right, of course.

If an admin sees this, please feel free to clip it out.

As opposed to killfiling people, which is of course still acceptable ;)

It's a shame that we can't killfile politicians, isn't it?

Sorry, I couldn't see a point in his rantings, which as far as I could understand them struck me as impractical at best; no man is an island and if you try to ban government from some sphere to keep it from growing overweeningly powerful you get overweeningly powerful private actors there instead. I consider them every bit as dangerous...
