Hi Bob,

BV> I wonder how many people I could kill with a Radar Detector ?
BL> If you mounted it on a length of 3-by-2 you might get a couple.
BV> Hey. What a great idea. If I were to do that I might get a few
BV> other loonies to copy me and then we could get the government
BV> to buy them back from us.
BL> You'd have to kill 35 in Tasmania, though.

How about 3.5 in Concord ?

BV> I honestly can't see what they get from owning a gun of any
BV> sort, let alone one which is only meant to kill people. As for
BV> calling it a "sport" that has got to be a joke.
BL> I think I can get inside their minds... they feel threatened. They
BL> expect the "police" to turn up one day and rape all their women, and
BL> in that case they *need* a semiautomatic Armalite to fight off the
BL> "police" and protect their... (insert pet insanity).

It must be something like that. I guess I can understand it to a
certain degree. Sure, they enjoy playing with guns, but they call
claim to be "sporting shooters", so why can't they leave the guns at
the gun club or something like that. Surely they must be aware of
the dangers of having them lying around in the house.

BL>  I had a workmate who started to collect tinned food because he was
BL> convinced Armageddon was coming and he wanted to survive.

ROFL...That ain't going to happen for a long time. Don't we have to
wait until the number of Abrahams Children are equal or greater than
the grains of sand in the world ? Or some such rubbish. The way that
they have made a profession out of being persecuted, it'll never
happen. Perhaps that's why they do it :)

BL> Anyone with an SLR is crazy - it's that simple.

It's sure looking like it.

BL> I've been paying taxes all my life and the only thing I got was
BL> a free Carpel's Tunnel operation... $1,500 back for something
BL> like $300,000 outlaid.
BV> Hey. That's a bargain. It's more than most.
BL>  The more I look at Anarchy, the better I like the idea. I saw in the
BL> paper on Sunday that the Australian Health bill for next year is
BL> expected to be $36,000M! That's $6,000 for every family in Australia.

Fuck me.

BL> Who the hell is running up these incredible bills?
BL> Who are these other sickly bastards I'm propping up?

Hmmm...You know all those blokes with their AK-47's ???

Cheers, Brenton
