The test for adulthood is the ability to read and understand the Lease. I do not believe this is a utopian goal. As a matter of fact, I see our current society's problems as a function of not understanding the differences between childhood and adulthood in its political decisions. The current term for this is infantalization. Of the two philosophies, the Daddy Party's is less destructive to society, but both approaches still miss the point.
Politicians are the most arrogant, self-important busybodies in the country.
They honestly believe that if they don't solve a problem, it won't be solved. Gun control is at its essence a product of socialist thinking. It has all the earmarks of virulent statism. They are right to be afraid. That's what the guns are for.
