Don't be a fool. There is no such thing as an "assault weapon." It's a
made-up term, used to scare the roobs into voting for a ban on cool-
looking black rifles with pistol grips and wire butts and stuff.

Some serious education needs to be done in this country.

The Constitution does not "allow" anything to the people. It spells out
what the government is allowed to do, or was intended to.

The Constitution does not "grant" rights. They are granted to you by the
act of being born alive. The Constitution attempts to highlight the most
"important" ones, explicitly prohibiting the government from abridging
your natural human rights, which are the right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.

Not free medical care at somebody else's expense either, BTW.

The whole rest of this is pretty much irrelevant. Kerry seems to be the
only viable alternative to Bush - at least he's probably not a lunatic
on some unholy crusade.

Thanks,
