"sick commentary of america" Why? ============== There is the perception that people are roaming the streets packing heat and looking for excitement, or as Holder put it, packing heat because it is the "cool" thing. This is validated by the facts of some inner city circumstances. If we don't address this as a problem and include it in the broader discussion then we are really wasting our time here. Certainly this is the type of thing that has caught the attention of the ban guns spokes persons and is being promoted to the forefront, along with the recent school and theater shootings. To you it is probably similar to raising a rusty coat hanger and shouting, "this is the alternative to family planning." No matter how often I see arguments forwarded about home protection, personal choice, and the protection of liberty, I know the over riding rhetoric from the ban guns folk will present a very select perspective to brow beat you in attempts to "win" on the political stage. The solution to an agenda based on a narrow portrayal of reality is to continually present information that contradicts and corrects that narrow portrayal. The problem, then, is whether or not you will be effective. Holder and Biden are being trotted out as decoys. If their commentary is received with over whelming disapproval, Obama will pull back. But if they are relatively well received, Obama will go ahead with his executive order.
