Well, what the hell, I'm part Cherokee but we don't silence much of
anything. We just remember that the wasteland the white man forced us on had
a lot of oil under it. <g> /jim

I've NEVER heard it - but it makes sense. And since the M.E. is
invoked, yes, I will readily agree that one man's freedom fighter is
another man's terrorist. Anyone with American Indian background
on the list ready to step in and silence this?
Anyway, I never owned a gun, but I do see your point regarding
technology. It so happens that military technology was THE source
of R&D for the past couple of millennia...Fine cameras are rooted in
optics and watchmaking - both used and developed for navigation -
and warfare. A great book on the subject is Longitude by David
Sobel.
