  1. There's a good measure of paranoia in this video, but let's recognize that when government and control freaks overreach, that makes paranoid people look rational and rational people become reasonably suspicious of those grasping power.

    There's an easy answer here: Stop trying to assert so much control. Defuse the argument.

  4. Do we know who the first one to apply these Greek words to the modern gun-rights movement was? I always get a kick out of the mindless followers who pick up on things like this and repeat them over and over again until, like in this case, they become practically a movement in and of themselves.

    1. The phrase in English was used on a flag that the Texans flew during their revolution against Mexico in 1835, but it was originally found in Plutarch's writing about the Spartans. But do tell: What's mindless about quoting a powerful line from the ancient world?

    2. I didn't ask where it came from. Who applied it to the modern gun-rights movement, after which you and all the others began mindlessly repeating it because you think it sounds cool and makes you seem sooo intellectual.
