The elite are once again getting too big for their britches I think. Is it time to dust off the guillotine yet?

Put your faith in technology...

Four or five RCMP officers can't tell if a person speaks English or is dangerously disturbed and presenting a danger to people around him...so taser him... And if he dies...OH WELL the worlds a little safer....

This way if anything like this ever gets implemented it will wash the hands of the top leaders of any moral delema as the machine doesn't discriminate.

uhhh ... unless I go to an underground source (of which there are many) ammo has been a bit hard to purchase ever since I said "screw you" to gun control. Fortunately, I have a goodly stock on hand - just not quite enough to sustain a small war.

Woof!
