It seems particu- larly appropriate, what with the AR todo. One part of me wants to see all bigots strung up by their thumbs--a more reasonable side of me knows that laws passed (aside from any Free Speech argument) can become very dangerous in the hands of some of our lawmakers--and turned against any group considered to be out of the white-male mainstream of our glorious society.
