Pathways to chaos and violence? Antithesis to government? Seems both are simply phenomena that happen on a personal level and at a societal level.
Yer gonna hafta bone up on boneheadedness if ya want to argue like a wingnut...that was pathetic! Not a single nod to the 2nd, or acknowledgment that Festus and Gomez warn't red-blooded, patriotic, independent goddam vigilantes! Vigilantes don' need no stinkin' Marshal to deputize 'em...

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em in yer sights!!!


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
