of our societies values. The FR used properly (like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) is a great tool for a capitalist system. Currently it is the abuse of the selected few we see year after year and now the blowback - the OWS rally. If you use a gun to murder people for money then you are vilified. If you use a gun to defend the life of the innocent then you are a hero in the eyes of the people. It is all in how you use the tools civilization has adapted for human growth...or hindrance. The choice is not really ours, but the ruling elites.
