Exactally what I was thining. That would have been a very insightful little essay there, had some second grade grammar skills been applied.
And, I like guns. Sure, guns were invented to kill things, such as people in a time of war and animals when you need to eat. Could you find other ways to kill people in a time of war? Or to kill animals to eat? Sure. But I don't think that the common thought is that "Hey, I sure am glad I have this firearm to kill someone with." If someone is going to murder someone, then they are going to do it, with or without a gun. Does a gun make it easier? Yes. Then there should be more precautions against selling a firearm to someone with the mental capacity to kill another human being as a first degree murder. Guns were invented. So were bombs. We should probably place a ban on steak knives as well, because if someone couldn't use a gun to kill someone else, I'm sure a knife up someones sleeve will work just as well.
I do believe that it is a person that kills someone. Yes, whatever weapon they used to do it with kill that person, but ony in the hands of a murderer. I could go to the 7 Mile Fair and buy a pair of nun-chucks to kill someone with too, but I don't, because I do not have the mental capability to kill someone in cold blood, for no reason.
In the event that I needed to protect the ones I love from someone wishing harm upon them or myself, and I have easy access to a firearm at that time, with no other alternatives available, such as police or a 2x4 handy, I WILL shoot that person with a gun.
Dumbest.......Idea.......Ever.....
Even now, with a 1Gb Ipod Shuffle so small that I could possibly swallow, why would I want 240 songs that I can't physically select to listen to. Or, in ten years, why would I even want every video in the world on an Ipod? I would have to fondle the little click wheel for about 17 minutes while I find the video I want to watch.
Just sounds dumb to me.
Sure they could save millions that way, but what about their IT dept. If it is a halfway large organization, or huge like FedEx, their teams supporting the POS equipment may not be qualified or fully understand how to support the equipment in a Linux environment. Then they would have to re-evaluate their support stratagies, as in finding people qualified to support the Linux based systems, which would cost money as well as render the current Windows support fellows useless to POS support. So it may not be cost effective for an organization to just switch over to Linux. Unless a third-party company is contracted for POS support, then it's a different story.
I thought that F.E.A.R. had a great scare factor to it. The storyline was very intreging (sp?), at least it was to me. And the things that would pop into his head as you wandered down a hallway were just amazing. There is something about little girls in scary movies or games that scare the begeezus outta me. Am I the only person who though that the game was great and scary?
