Thus Spake mshinn@osf1.gmu.edu (Michael T Shinn):
%Its very possible that you've based your opinions of ALL militia groups on
%a limited subset of the whole, a Loud and vocal minority, if you will -
%and that be relying solely on anecdotal evidence you're reaching an
%illogical and erronous conculsion. I admit, that loud and vocal minority
%in many cases does indeed trouble me, particularly their credulous and
%specious wild ramblings about aNew World ORder - nevertheless, I refuse to
%allow myself to conclude that all Militias are as such purely on such
%unreliable and Anecdotal evidence.
Some of the posts on this thread are a little disturbing. I mean, the idea that
the Constitution applies to everyone, even liberals, socialists, and athiests
would be a rather confusing to at least one person who's posted.
%: It's just that the sort of people I knew personally who were the type to
%: actually make bombs of this kind were generally the last people I wanted to
be
%: around if they were holding blasting caps. . .
%
%Odd, the people I learned it from were very well trained EOD and SF folks.
%Precisely the first people I would trust with the blasting caps AND with
%the detotator. Maybe you need to widen your circle of friends. *grin*
Depends-the military types are generally OK, (although I'd like to know what the
hell happened to Cpl. Warren's finger) but civillians who make this stuff for
kicks sometimes scare me.
