That is why we stick with private health care, which costs us over twice as much for less care, compared to other countries. Socialized medicine wouldn't work here, obviously!
And hey, listening to statistics and data is silly. :P

Yes, we saw how well bans and heavy regulations worked in Chicago last summer now didn't we?
I'd like to ask Kyuu, Kaijo, and Sugetso to put themselves in syn's position, for a week. No "Star Trek" weapons, no guns, no nothing except your wits and survival instinct to get you thru your daily routine. What do you do if confronted by a robber or thief? Remember your equipment if your life's work, losing it means you don't eat or can't make the rent! What do you do, how do you act?
For me; I have four years of Aikido under my belt, a collapsible baton, attaché case. But then I've had training. Now what about you?
