The thing that reminds me of how "kid logic" works is this rationalization about "other people" doing X.
The issue is folks "euphemising" the use of violence as a solution to political problems. Logic like "the Liberals on this list would do the same thing!" and "Obama said bring a gun!", etc., is a bit sad. My mom wouldn't have bought excuses like that. =)p :Den -- The best way to fight a monster is to become a monster yourself, yo! An eye for an eye! Aye?
