We've known this since the US Civil War, and the world got its face rubbed in it during WWI. McArdle and her ilk need to learn some military history and tactics and stop playing bogus video games.<br /><br />Of course, McArdle is a fan of Ayn Rand, and if Ayn Rand and Adam Lanza were alive today, Rand would be writing Lanza mash notes. He wouldn't have been the first serial killer she cozied up to.<br /><br />When I was a kid I couldn't quite understand the motives in the Leopold-Loeb case. As I grew older, I realized that their ideas and impulses were fairly wide spread, and now and then would get an outlet. Sometimes it was WWII. Sometimes it was just some asshole with a gun.Kaleberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283840743310507878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-38499540257798798032012-12-19T11:17:44.946-05:002012-12-19T11:17:44.946-05:00"Honey, when you see a man come in the room w..."Honey, when you see a man come in the room with a gun, you need to jump up and run right at him and then jump on him."<br /><br />"Okay, mommy!"<br /><br />I don't think so.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824726361166939187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-62153516399898137562012-12-18T18:20:30.098-05:002012-12-18T18:20:30.098-05:00Nay homie, she and her ilk don't need to be lo...Nay homie, she and her ilk don't need to be locked up, they need be removed. I too marked time till the allusion to Thurston, though to the crotch-shots' credit not by name or, as you point out, actions. <br /><br />It's interesting they haven't found a way to tie the Portland shooting Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-65449292568479396602012-12-18T13:32:01.859-05:002012-12-18T13:32:01.859-05:00It is only a matter of time before they bring up t...It is only a matter of time before they bring up the Thurston High shooter from here in my town. In that instance a group of students did rush the shooter and stop him from killing more people. They will forget to tell us all that it was senior football players rushing a much smaller kid who was not armed with a military weapon or the kind of bullets "designed to bounce around for a while once they enter the body"(Not sure where I read that). I think we tried what she is describing in world war 1 and the Japanese tried it in world war 2. It just makes my stomach churn to think of sending small children out to do that. She needs to be locked up! stella - a view from the bottomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611889995270930688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-9000053486117331992012-12-18T10:03:37.107-05:002012-12-18T10:03:37.107-05:00But if you look at their arguments closely, people...But if you look at their arguments closely, people like McArdle are nothing near the rational machines they contend others are. They are bundles of prejudices and neuroses and quirks and unexamined assumptions like the rest of us. They even feel love. It's only the "others" who are economic machines.<br /><br />(And even those machines act according to conveniently-made-up rules of the moment, e.g. CEObots respond to higher taxes by working less, but poorbots respond to higher taxes by working more.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-63898141423575043472012-12-18T09:55:44.890-05:002012-12-18T09:55:44.890-05:00Would Ayn Rand sacrifice her own life to save anot...Would Ayn Rand sacrifice her own life to save another, by bum rushing a gun nut?

Would it work? Would people do it? I have no idea; all I can say is that both these things would be more effective than banning rifles with pistol grips.”<br /> <br />To her credit, 8-12 unarmed dead children IS less than the 20 killed in Newtown – sometimes (almost always - oh, fuck it - yeah: ALWAYS!), her math skills leave a lot to be desired, so we should give her some dap when she finally gets something right.<br /><br />So, in Meg’s twisted Libertarian mind, 8-12 dead, unarmed children, is an acceptable price for stopping a killing spree.<br /> <br />This is a fusillade of STUPID that would cause a Village Idiot’s Convention to duck and cover!!!<br /><br />OY!<br />How does she keep her job!<br />Maybe she's writing pieces like this, hoping to get a staff position at The Onion?<br /><br />Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-68081677479769544612012-12-18T08:53:48.164-05:002012-12-18T08:53:48.164-05:00I have nothing but contempt and derision for these...I have nothing but contempt and derision for these wingers...I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire....my point is...I want these wingers to experience the pain of losing a child...that moment when that information hits the brain, whammo...there are no words...there is NOTHING worse than to hear those words...I KNOW THIS for a fact as having lost three children...I want these pro assholes to feel the pain...the anguish...the self recrimination of not doing enough to protect any child...you cannot even begin to imagine the pain...HATE...I was taught not to hate...the burning in my heart, the black hole of loss is not to be marginalized yet they try...I don't know all the answers by any means...but these assholes need a lesson in compassion, and to reject the false teachings of the rest of the winger culture...Bufordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562503298407472200noreply@blogger.com
