Nothing as it Seems

The average 'gun enthusiast'

(the worst euphemism since 'military intelligence,'

as it is both innocuously misleading and

woefully understated) seems to be of the mind that

"Well, we already have all these guns...we might as well use them"

as though that's an end point on a philosophical

conversation.

To which I can only reply

"Thank goodness we didn't feel that way about

our nuclear weapons. But, at least that would

have been faster and less messy than gun annihilation."

Hey, maybe we could initiate the

philosophy of
"We've got these brains...might as well use them?"
