Hello Matt,

MM>I am going to open pandora's box on this.

MM>1. The government killed the children by using a second hitman
MM>to kill the children and the staff and ended up using the gunman
MM>as the fall guy.

Yes, as it takes at least two people to make a conspiracy a conspiracy.

MM>2. the Department of Homeland security used actors to portray
MM>the parents of the dead children.

Yes.  Gotta keep those unemployment numbers down.  Actors need work
too, you know.

MM> .. An armed populace is the greatest insurance against tyrany.

In 1543 the first Westerners arrived in Japan, bearing guns.
By 1575, guns had replaced swords among the Japanese, including
most of the samurai.  But after 1637, the Japanese stopped using
guns, on order of the Shogun (wanting to keep their heads, the
Japanese wisely gave up their guns).  And for the next 200+ years,
no guns were used or allowed.  It was not until Commodore Perry
arrived that put guns back into the lives of the Japanese.

The Shogun had found out, the hard way, that arming a population
with guns was a terrible idea.  The population, even armed with guns,
did nothing to protect the Shogun from white men armed with guns.
As such, the Shogun did the only sensible thing he could.  Can't
really blame him.  Better to chop off some heads than get his own
head blown away ...
