Interview With id Software's Robert A. Duffy

LEXI writes: "Accompanying our recent first set of Q3Radiant Tutorials I had the chance to interview one of the programmers behind the editor and the new engine, Mr. Robert A. Duffy of id software. 10 questions asked, 10 answers given. Topics range from personal details, education, job description, over to the new engine and the new tools, to violence in games and George W. Bush. The English original can be found here; the German translation resides at this very spot. The interview should be interesting for as well the quake player desperately awaiting the new engine, as the fresh or old-school mapper."

evolving document - I wish I had more guns

[isolation]

When I read this crap it just makes me want to go buy more guns.

We dont have the right to bear arms based on a need to hunt or to be protected from bandits (Stated Cowboys above). We have the right to bear arms for the purpose of overthrowing our government in the event it becomes something the violates the basic rights of man.

Try thinking rather then feeling.

When my father joined the navy, he took the same oath that the President of the United States, the Vice President, Senators, Congressmen and judges take, namely to "preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foriegn and domestic". His oath was not to the President, Congress or any other person/entity. If the President and/or Congress started to act unconstitutionally, the military would join the rebellion, not fight against it. That is why an officer cannot be ordered to do something unconstitutional, because his oath take precedence over his orders.
