And now he monopolizes the definition of freedom, too.

What else did you invent (other than this excuse not to answer the question)
? I can't wait to hear more!

Just because is apparently took you 13 years to comprehend it does not mean
that others are as slow.

Oh Master, please share with us humble disciples how one might learn more ?
You have obviously progressed to a far more exalted plane, and we are all
eager to follow, so that we may share your un-complicated view of the world
and give our lives more meaning!

Until we reach that state, I'll have to live with my hopelessly putdated and
un-American view, that giving everyody guns will not solve all the world's
problems, no will it prevent the abouse of the many by the few.

Of course, my view is based on fact, yours on assumptions and slogans that
have yet to be proven by one single instance in history.

Come on: Someone as supremely gifted as yourself, with the ability to define
the path to a total understanding a freedom in only one e-mail, could SURELY
define un-American in a few!
