said by cdru:history has shown us that when a government (or a society) swings too far to one side, there is often an extreme the other way to try to counteract it.
I agree. But it's almost always harmful. Remember the militia movements that sprung up in the early '90s as a result of gun control and so-called "states rights?" That certainly didn't help. If you began to defend ugly semi-automatics ("assault weapons") you were immediately viewed as a radical member of the Michigan Militia (or "The Freemen.").
