So he showed it to you. Really a nice CYA on the 3) Under no circumstances can you kill your own offspring.

3) Under no circumstances can you kill your own offspring. Of course, if they really deserve it, someone will do it for you, don't worry. He says it is constitutionally sound as it's an extension of the right to pursue happiness. Do you think we should worry? Well, he didn't indemnify parents, just offspring. Doesn't make you wonder? Ish might find a use for him around the farm.

Do you think we should worry? I would immediately go buy bullet proof vests and put a GOOD lock on your bedroom door.

I am already worried. This is either a dangerous kid or reborn Jonathon Swift.

Get this kid help. Maybe a law course. There is no constitutional right to pursue happiness (that's in the Declaration of Independence).

His proposal was that each month, we each are allowed one legal murder. We developed something like that here in So Cal. It's called "the drive-by". It helps reduce the burgeoning ethnic-gang population, and provides lots of "Children are being SHOT!!" statistics for the ban-the-gun crowd. (I'd love to see them try to peel the hardware out of the hands of the local teen-gangsters. Yup, that would work.) There's definitely rules to this mayhem. You kill one of ours, we wait a few weeks then waste one or more of yours. I think it's written down in a book somewhere. Ammo should cite it in his paper: op cit El Baby Gangster's "We Don' Need No Stinkin' Bodges" Vol 1 As for the MacDonald's mass mayhem strategy that Ammo denigrates, well, there was such an incident in San Diego in the '80s. Some loon emptied a rifle inside the joint, perhaps in a Unabomber-style statement against the destruction of the Rainforest in order to raise beef. Or maybe he was just nuts. Whatever. Anyway, my supervisor's 12 yr old kid was in that store when all hell broke loose, and this dude waited until the end of the day, some 6 hours later, to go see how he was. His unbridled ambition put an inconsequential afternoon at work ahead of any concern for his own kid. He was not a pleasant person to work for.
