If you go to a rally with a big gun on your hip you are attempting to send a message.

compensating for something?

No, but I understand that a political demonstration is about sending messages.  What you say, how you dress, and what you carry are all part of the message.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Why cant a group of men who feel the need to compensate for something all take part in the same political demonstration. Dont people within a political movement have certain characteristics in common.

I thought you were suggesting I was compensating for something.

No, sorry.  I should have made that more clear.  Unless of course you feel a need to strap on a big gun or whatever.  Then my answer would change.

Only when I look at my self naked in a mirror.  Not in public.  To me wearing a gun openly in public at a political demonstration sends one very loud and clear message.  I'm willing to use violence.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

hey, be nice to the accountants!

:D

In all honesty, I am probably a bit too nice as a boss.

If someone, say, i don't know, me, moved from canada to portland would my 4 years of canadian experience count towards me getting hired in your department? :shifty:
