First of all, what has this got to do with trading?
Secondly, in a private email, maybe someone can explain to me why it is that
Americans (you are aren't you?) feel that they are still in the 18th century
when it comes to the necessity of weaponry in everyday life.
The reality is appalling. That 23 (or is it 26?) family members go down for
every one "assailant" never seems to trouble anyone. Don't let fear and
common sense stand in the way of the stampede to arms. I particularily like
the anti gov't types who arm themselves with some guns and say that the
gov't is out to get them. If that were true, one tommahawk and they would
be vaporized along with their guns, but why apply logic?
The irony that seems to escape most NRA members and wannabees is that the
threat which you arm yourselves against is the threat you create by arming
yourselves.
