America isn't as violent, fat, stupid, or ignorant as the internet would have you believe. We're actually moving in a very progressive direction, but if you only read webpages, you'd think we were the 8th level of hell.

True. The police chief in Paragould, AR (my state) decided he'd like to declare virtual "martial law" because of the fear of crime, even though crime statistics are either lower or stagnant. Then again, I learned this from the internet as well.

Still, someone down the street from me just got shot over a woman a few days back. It doesn't matter how often that happens, what matters is how quickly you get to make that decision when you're holding a gun.

I don't get what you're saying here. Are you in favor of the police state, or aren't you?
