Can't we all just agree to disagree in a civil fashion while the planet's last, fading hope of liberty and prosperity gets snuffed out?

No. We can't.

During the seventy years which elapsed between the overthrow of the Stuart dynasty and the victory of Wolfe on the Heights of Abraham, the relations between the American colonies and the British government were, on the whole, peaceful; and the history of the colonies, except for the great and romantic struggle with New France, would have been almost destitute of striking incidents. In view of the perpetual menace from France, it was clearly unwise for the British government to irritate the colonies, or do anything to weaken their loyalty; and they were accordingly left very much to themselves. Still, they were not likely to be treated with any great liberality,â€"for such was not then, as it is hardly even yet, the way of governments...

You seem a decent fellow, I'd hate to miss working with you. Maybe we'll see each other on the line sometime? Anyway, Congratulations! It's a big step, if you need any help with history or POIs just ask!

The Dread Pirate BeBop thanks everyone for their very warm welcome!  (I'm typing it for her because somehow she doesn't have access to IIT stuff or the ability to reply to anything yet).  She says she's looking forward to working with everyone on the Appleseed Trail!  (And she laughed at how many of you got the movie and anime quotes into this thread!)

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003
