I've been reading reading this site for about the same time and I have to agree with you. While, I do read through the comments sections, I very rarely comment. Both the comments and story sections have changed significantly in that time.
I have to to agree with most of the posters. It did not cut it this year. Past years, I was pulled in a couple of times, but Mad Libs just does not work.
You really believe "the ones who protect themselves are not equipped to deal with the trauma of having to shoot people."
William Golding and the generation of people who read Lord of Flies disagree with you. If someone is going to try and take away supplies, the owner is going to fight. Period. They have nothing else. The "gansta's" may eventually dominate through shear brutality, however that does not stop people in the initial stages from defending themselves.
There were several reports of people defending their property and neighborhoods from roving looters after Katrina and during the Egyptian riots.
Free-market doctrine clearly does not include the government pushing an individual institution to the private sector. Deregulation of an entire industry is core to the free market doctrine. However, the intent in deregulation is to open an industry to the private sector, not a "business or two." By handing a "hospital" over to a single corporation you are offering no incentive for the corporation to perform efficiently, because the costs ARE supported by the state. It's easy to be lazy if you always have somebody to fall back on. I'll agree the model is doomed however, don't mistake your deranged model for anything approaching the free market.
The antisocial driving bit is pretty scary. What exactly does that mean? I can't hold my own Death Race anymore? Or is to prevent a resurgence of Kit's evil brother Kar.
Interestingly similar rules apply to all US ordnance regardless of manufacture date.
When I was stationed in California we received a call from the local police department regarding a man using a Civil War era cannonball as a bowling ball. Sure, enough we showed up at his house and he was rolling the cannon ball on his lawn. We (the military) are obligated to collect and return all US ordnance regardless of perceived ownership. The guy willing surrendered the cannon ball after we explained that not all cannonballs are solid, and those that aren't contain gun powder that can quite sensitive to shock and friction.

Unexploded laws? It should be "ordnance."

Good question. I am in the same boat. I setup a home VPN and went through the same thought process in generating keys.

At least you wouldn't have to worry about stealthing any of your ports.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
