The bit that pissed me off, when listening to the interviews on the radio
on my way into work, is that they are comparing knives to firearms, saying
that there should be the same restrictions. That is stupid, they are
significant differences 'twixt use of a knife and use of a firearm (e.g.
dehumanisation of action and potential for collateral damage that is
achieved with a firearm, but not with a knife).


That's all that pissed you off? You must have a personal bobby (sp?)
that follows you around for protection.

Here in the US police generally show up AFTER a crime has been
committed, and then they fill out paperwork (sometimes help put you in
the body bag - other times just apply the tape around the immediate
vicinity). This doesn't apply to our famous people though, they have
personal bobbies - and theirs carry guns! ;)
