[extropy-chat] FWD [forteana] Gun control [was Re: the roadtohell]

[Thomas FitzGerald]

Mike,
 
I'm not especially insulted, and I'm sorry if you were. I'm just relieved to hear that no one on the list thought New York was in New England. Have fun with your gun debate.
 
Cheers,
Tom FitzGerald

Connecticut was left out of the comparison because it is a combination
of high crime/high gun control areas and low crime/low gun control

NorthEastern US. I was not specifying New England as a whole, I was
comparing northern New England states with the rest of the NorthEast...

Your misperception makes me wonder about the comprehension capabilities
of other anti-gun types.... see how easily an insulting phrase cane be
turned around one you???? ;)
