What an excellent, succinct representation of that.
Except, the reality is that we are not talking about boxes. We are talking about the hard earned money that individuals have made & are being forced by the government to give up to other people to didn’t do the work to earn that money.

Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings, ‘The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer’.

Just six days ago, my village was struck by a drone, in an attack that terrified thousands of simple, poor farmers. The drone strike and its impact tore my heart, much as the tragic bombings in Boston last week tore your hearts and also mine.
What radicals had previously failed to achieve in my village, one drone strike accomplished in an instant: there is now an intense anger and growing hatred of America.

Farea Al-Muslimi, a Yemeni speaking to the Senate Judiciary Committee in a hearing on the legality of the drone war.
As Glenn Greenwald put it: “The matrix broke today and an actual Yemeni was allowed to testify about drones in the Senate - he was brilliant.”

Background Checks Failed
Well it appears the Background checks law will fail.
Which means any asshole with a heart beat will be able to get guns then sell them on the black market to people who slaughter children.
I eagerly await to hear the CONServative counter proposal. “Strict enforcement of gun laws on the books!” Oh you mean the gun laws you clowns already water down in the past?
I pray your children dont get butchered. Cause I know you dont give a f—k about mine.
THERE ARE ALREADY BACKGROUND CHECKS
THERE ARE ALREADY BACKGROUND CHECKS
THERE ARE ALREADY BACKGROUND CHECKS
DO SOME RESEARCH
you liberals that support pot so much should know that there will always be a black market regardless of any law.
Well it appears the Background checks law will fail.
Which means any asshole with a heart beat will be able to get guns then sell them on the black market to people who slaughter children.
If ‘any asshole with a heartbeat” can just go into any store and buy any gun he wants, why the hell would he have to sell them on the ‘black market’? The black market would cease to exist if there weren’t already….oooh..what are those pesky little things called?….what is it?….oh!…laws and background checks already in place to prevent criminals and the mentally ill from purchasing weapons.I will give you this, though: Your emotional, yet completely factless, juvenile outbursts are rather amusing.

Surprised they weren’t escorted off the premises. That has happened.

Gitmo Is Killing Me
ONE man here weighs just 77 pounds. Another, 98. Last thing I knew, I weighed 132, but that was a month ago.
I’ve been on a hunger strike since Feb. 10 and have lost well over 30 pounds. I will not eat until they restore my dignity.
I’ve been detained at Guantánamo for 11 years and three months. I have never been charged with any crime. I have never received a trial.
I could have been home years ago — no one seriously thinks I am a threat — but still I am here. Years ago the military said I was a “guard” for Osama bin Laden, but this was nonsense, like something out of the American movies I used to watch. They don’t even seem to believe it anymore. But they don’t seem to care how long I sit here, either.
When I was at home in Yemen, in 2000, a childhood friend told me that in Afghanistan I could do better than the $50 a month I earned in a factory, and support my family. I’d never really traveled, and knew nothing about Afghanistan, but I gave it a try.
I was wrong to trust him. There was no work. I wanted to leave, but had no money to fly home. After the American invasion in 2001, I fled to Pakistan like everyone else. The Pakistanis arrested me when I asked to see someone from the Yemeni Embassy. I was then sent to Kandahar, and put on the first plane to Gitmo.
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
— H. L. Mencken
