So, let's see now...

219. I think creating more then training and arming them is even less effective in reducing potential for

harm than ignoring them.

Sometimes an ineffective nothing is the best you can do. We have contributed mightily to the problem and continue to do just that and the "have to do something" crowd has done no better than to dig a deeper hole and pull us all into it with the security state growth and staggering bills due.

I strongly support doing nothing until a better something comes along, the last 75 years of experiments have been more dangerous a cure than the disease, the efforts of the past decade plus have been dangerously insane.

So, yeah. If all you can DO is make matter worse then sit down somewhere and enjoy a steaming hot cup of shut the fuck up before you step on your own dick and invite a parade to do the same for the uptenth time.

At some point our elections just become threadbare excuses to do the same wrongheaded and dangerous shit because we can point to a fresh face and declare that "this time it will be different".
