[TheForge] Oh, Jeeze...California Considers Table Saw Law

[Bruce .]

>From the miscellany I read (none of authoritative) it is virtually
impossible to get a gun at all in the UK.  Even knives are largely
banned, I read.  Not being in or from the UK, I can't vouch for any of
this.

Doesn't surprise my you can buy UK citizenship.  You can buy your way
into the nobility there!  I'm not knocking this, mind you, but  in
America I'll bet you can't even buy your way into the nobility of the
SCA!

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY:  Start selling titles in the US!  Tie it into
some worthy charity -- like hospitals -- and don't tell people that
80% of the money goes to line our pockets.    ("Expenses", don't you
know.  One cannot deal with nobility on the cheep!)  The lottery is a
tax on stupidity that affects the poor disproportionately (need I say
why?).  What we need is a tax on ego that might disproportionately
affect the rich.  Maybe we could even get a few kings and dukes
(impoverished ones, of course) to add to the air of legitimacy...
