Oh no ER

You know what's coming next don't you? You used irony and humor with a subtle theme of violent retribution so therefore, in the eyes of our whack jobs, you insinuated a violent threat towards Tom.

I've gotten the outrage before from the idiots where I said things to the effect that if the division of wealth grew too large, history showed that often times people reacted with axes and pitchforks. Immediately I got the scorn (which of course I wear as a badge of honor) by Lee and Techie that I was calling for a violent solution to the political problems.

At other times I talked about how any human being at times in their lives fantasizes about fixing problems by busting up or doing away with their opponents. Rational human beings don't resort to that of course and I was careful to point that out that our animal side can easily be controlled by our logical and ethical parts. You'd think that would fend off the wingnuts but of course not. I got dinged on my honesty.

That said, I'm certain there's a few people on here that, after a few beers and listening to their racist bullshit, they might be able to provoke me into cold-cocking them. It'll never happen though because why in the world would I ever want to be in a situation where I'm enjoying a drink with the likes of them?
