It's a very pretty picture, but I live in a world surrounded by people who want me disarmed and physically unable to confront the bad guys. Gimme a magic sword and the capacity to tank a lot of hits from the evil fighters I confront with talk no jutsu and I'll l give that effort a try.

My unique talent is putting into words how voting is a Rubik's cube your mom gives you so you'll shut up for a minute in the back of the car while she's driving. She's driving over a cliff and thinks a parachute will help her while making your death look like an accident despite how she's prepared with a parachute while driving over a cliff. If enough people understand what I'm saying, maybe they'll organize externally and actually do something that might help. I have more hope for this than faith in voting, but recognize that neither is likely to help anything.
