	6:10pm sheepfrien: dan savage talked about suggesting we talk about the last one. he smart
	6:10pm Kali G: There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down....
	6:16pm Sebastian: this is so freaking unreal, I don't know anybody who owns a gun and I never touched one in my life
	6:16pm sheepfriend: guns are like star wars legos, get the starter get the mods.
	6:18pm melinda: Yes, it's the lifestyle/identity that the firearms industry has managed to push that's the real problem.
	6:19pm Dean: A "no-brainer." You can say that again.
	6:19pm Sean d: star wars protest signs say "zappers not guns"
	6:20pm dale: i have a german air rifle that shoots pellets and before i had neighbors i liked to shoot at tin cans. it's been sitting in the closet for about 15 years now.
	6:21pm chris: the 2nd amendment is not about hunting weapons. its about a well regulated militia which can step in to defend the people against an oppressive, authoritarian government. i think we should all agree it doesn't make sense anymore.
	6:23pm dale: we have an army now. we don't need civilians to pony up and defend us from taxes on tea. we count on poor folks with no better options after high school to die for our oil. er, i meant tea.
	6:27pm melinda: @chris you're right. They didn't see a need to regulate hunting weapons. It doesn't make sense anymore now that we have an army, but I don't see us changing it either.

	6:38pm TDK60: Ronceverte! I lived most my life in Morgantown up in the north. I was at a folk/oldtime/etc. festival in Ronceverte circa '78 maybe.
	6:39pm Switchblade Batman: What about Jesse Ventura? He was a gov, after he was a wrestler
	6:39pm Dean: Schwarzenegger? Reagan?
	6:39pm Switchblade Batman: Arnold too. He showed up in wrestling then was a gov
	6:40pm Dean: Bodybuilding and action flicks, comedies
	6:41pm Switchblade Batman: I was thinking wrestling specifically @Dean, but yeah. Action flicks count for this
	6:42pm Switchblade Batman: Oh, and obvs Idiocracy. President Camacho was a wrestler. That's what it reminds me of
	6:43pm Dean: Right, point being one can argue Trump crossed a barrier, but celebrity dunce to chief executive isn't the barrier. Not sure what it is. Feels more like a sudden drop in expectations.
	6:53pm Switchblade Batman: Mao
	6:55pm Dean: I.A. Richards is loving this.
	6:57pm melinda: Clearly Mao
	6:58pm Dean: Jewel channeling Wallace Stevens "We are not men..." Mark Mothersbaugh
