You missed the whole point, and I'm afraid that explaining it to you would be a effort in futility

Doubt I missed the point. I own rifles, shotguns and handguns. I have a well with generator power as well as a wood stove. (Live in the Pacific NW). I understand and pride myself on being self sufficient. However, Sometimes one has to be pragmatic instead of stubborn.

Do you think that the decision on being pragmatic vs stubborn is your decision, or Christine Gregoire's?

Hummm.... and who would define the pragmatic and stubborn? Seems to me that in the Second War of Independence a half-million men died in an attempt to prevent the Federal Government from doing just that.

Thank God for State Constitutions, no matter how poorly written.
