EXCUSE THE PERSONAL NOTES, MY SYSTEM IS NOT COOPERATING WITH OUT OF
STATE E-MAIL ADDRESSES:
Rick, Ed--have your personal e-mail addresses changed in the last couple
of months? I've tried writing both of you this week and both messages
were kicked back to me--but after TWO days. Rick, will you be available
during the week of March 28-April 1?

...and if there were no cars then noone would die in automobile
accidents either.
True. But society has developed a dependance on convenient, fairly rapid
transportation; cars may not have been INEVITABLE, but they're useful in
the present state of affairs. Can we say the same for firearms?
One of the things I fear about a widespread acceptance of PCT is that it
can be used as justification for detrimental behavior just as surely as
behaviorism, but perhaps worse. I can hear someone in court saying:
"You've got to respect me as an autonomous control system."
What is a semi-automatic assault rifle?
As I understand it, it is an automatic assault rifle that has been
modified to fire as fast as you can pull the trigger, but sold that way
to comply with wimpy gun legislation. In many cases, it can be easily
converted back to fully automatic
BTW, I have nothing against guns myself--my dad, uncle and brothers are
or were hunters, and I have have used pistols and rifles on occasion.
My point is, I would be willing to give up a sometimes diversion
permanently, if it would remove an all too easy fatal alternative to
resolving conflict for too many members of society. And that goes for
several things, including vices.
