Uncle_Tricky Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Sometimes I think the world might be a better place if upon turning 18 years of age, every American was issued a copy of the Bill of Rights, a voter registration card, a driver's license, a loaded rifle, a bag of greenery, and a case of the beer of your choice. Oh--and a one-way ticket to Pyongyang, exercisable at any time one decided they couldn't handle the occasional messiness of living in a (still sorta) free country. I'm reminded of what my grampa, who tended to speak in opaque aphorisms, once said as he was teaching me to shoot: "Son, just because you're wearing overalls at the OK Corral don't mean the world is rated PG all the time." I still lie awake at night, pondering just what in the hell he meant by that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
