Who could disagree, number 6. Most Americans, I have met, have been delightful people.

However the armaments industry has your country by the bollocks. It finances the campaigns of politicians and asks in return the key to the tax coffers.   How much was it - about fifteen dollars - every bullet fired in Vietnam cost the American tax payer? I guess inflation will have upped that for Afghanistan.

'This 'right to bear arms' is a bit like the right to smoke in public and advertise tobacco products. Its against the public interest. It costs the lives of too many decent people.
