    You have some misconceptions.

    The militia was all able bodied males, and today is all able bodied males and females age 18 and over. Your state constitution likely will have such wording as my Illinois one does.

    "well regulated" in 18th century English meant "properly functioning". Like a "well regulated" watch was one that worked and kept correct time.

    You are assuming things without historical and legal context.

    Note the birth rate of middle class or wealthy people is much below the 2.1 children per couple it takes to have "break even" population. The poor and ignorant are the problem

    The amount of water on the planet won't change, and all those nations but Palestine have the money and engineering ability to get water. If the people of Palestine ever started using their brains en mass and stopped crippling their own chances at success they do amazing things too. No shortage of water for desalinization next to Palestine. Whole article is bullshit alarmist nonsense.

  6. oh, there is no other way that has existed for centuries to deal with those problems? Quit being a shill for police state thugs and corporate fascists

    Actually, when founding fathers discussed reason for 2nd amendment personal defense was not the concern, but rather "Tyranny at home, enemies from abroad". The implicit right of The People to violent revolution against an evil government was the principal intent. Mark it down, a good American politician will agree with that, an evil police state thug will not. Guess what 98% of federal level politicians are?

    I see no evidence of this quality impact you are talking about in open source OS. You are going to claim HP/UX or AIX or Windows Server is of higher quality than Linux or the BSD? Nonsense, no sane person would ever put any of those OS directly on the internet because of their poor quality leading to security holes.

    Open source is looked at by third parties and ten thousandth parties, the developers don't all work for one company and contributions are made from non-core developers.
