fifth amendment loses!

I think Skar meant that it is important for us to have guns in case the people of this country have to revolt against an unjust government. This law is a clear move toward fascism, and we, as a country, have to be careful that we don't allow ourselves to become a fascist state.

Actually, it's communist. Not particularly fascist really.

[Archon]

I suppose you could go either way with it. On the one hand, it is the government confiscating your property, which would be fascist. But then they are giving it to someone else, so I guess that would be communist. Close enough.

Capitilism: You have two cows. You sell one, and buy a bull.

Communism: You have two cows. The government confiscates them, and provides you with milk

Socialism: You have two cows. The government confiscates one and gives it to your next door neighbour with no cows.

Anarchism: You have two cows. Biker gangs confiscate them, and bash you with baseball bats.

Nazism: You have two cows. The government confiscates them and shoots you.

Facism: You have two cows. The government confiscates them and lets you deal with it.

European Common Market: You have two cows. The government confiscates them, shoots one, milks the other then pours the milk down the drain.

Americanism: You have two cows.  The government takes one of your cows and gives it to somebody with a multi-billion dollar company who claims he needs your cows but it will be for public use because he will pay a little more in taxes.

Which should cause you some concern since you are a cow.

Gorgon, if you came up with that yourself, 10 points to you.

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

I am very concerned...

And Ten points to ME!

Critic files suit to sieze home of one of the supreme court judges. Spriggo gave me the link.

Sweet. GO CRITIC! I'll try to coordinate a con there as soon as it's done.
