Now if such a t-shirt is illegal than why are they legally sold?

Of course, your average cop has much better things to do than bother with such nonsense but this wasn't true recently when a young teenage girl was given a fixed-penalty-notice for drawing rainbows on the pavement in chalk. The culture of arbitary target-setting was blamed but really.....lawman have you no shame? Protect your community! There are folks being robbed and killed in the cities. Besides chalk disappears when it rains, which it does constantly!
yep.

If i had my way people would be obliged to protect THEMSELVES and provide for THEMSELVES...you know, like how every other animal on the planet does it.

That's charmingly gung-ho, PartyM, old pal but the truth is that it's in times like that that people discover they're stronger when they stick together and co-operate. Every man for himself gets picked off by the folks who have already made this discovery.

An analogy can be made with slime mold, which is a protozoa of damp places. When local conditions become adverse, millions of slime-mold organisms climb on top of each other to make a tower which collapses and reforms at the point of furthest collapse to make a new tower. These basic little things, not even complicated enough to be animals or plants become a temporary multi-celled being that effectively walks to a new environment before dispersing to become individual slime-mold again.

Yeh me too. That's why I don't read people's posts very carefully. Sorry.

I hope yours is a friendly tribe, though. You do come across as a bit of a rogue trooper sometimes. Are you all like that up there?

Nah most people are fat, dumb, and happy unfortunatley. There's a couple of existentialist anarchist nutjobs like myself running around but for the most part people everywhere are exactly the same

This is completely unacceptable:

I encourage anyone who might be making travel plans to boycott Southwest Airlines. This sort of nonsense cannot be tolerated.
