http://www.pollingreport.com/guns.htm"reform" is a good word for poll questions. Everybody wants "reform".
Tax "reform" could mean a flat tax or a more regressive tax.
Sentencing "reform" could mean time outs in your room or a mandatory death penalty.
Specifics are tougher - especially since many who want to feel good about "banning" one thing or another are remarkably ignorant of the substances, weapons, or behaviors the want to "ban" in order to fix all that is wrong with society.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
