We had the standard terrorism drills and a few bomb threats. We also had a plan for evacuation via submarine should the country go pear-shaped. Gotta love boarding school.

If it's me directing an army to smash stuff up, can't beat this entire soundtrack for epic strategy epicness...
The United States is too heavily armed to be disarmed. That said. Its high level of small-arms (handguns) armament certainly contributes to its measurably higher murder rate as compared to other developed nations and to the increased lethality of disputes when they do occur.
Not to mention he has quite failed to take me up on my challenge to literalist interpretations of Genesis from a theological and interpretational standpoint. That's par for the course as well, mind you, but it would be nice to have an excuse to take out the primary leg YEC stands on. 'Tis bad...

And of course no YECs actually want to step up and discuss why their interpretation of Genesis is as wrong as their understanding of evolution. A shame. I mean, you'd think they would actually be interested in learning something about the text they claim to revere.
