(Thanks for pointing it out, jj)

Ok, just so you screaming idiots know, I've ridden the subways in NYC.
Not alot, but when it's the easiest way to get around, yes I have.  I've
also spent more time than I care to think about in Union Station,
Chicago and other places that are rather seedy.  I don't do this as a
hobby, but don't tell me I don't know what it's like!

Now, a lot of these places have rather high rates of personal injury,
due to jerks trying to get a few bucks, or just for kicks.  Now it's bad
enough to have these idiots going around injuring people.  It's a far
cry worse to have idiots running around shooting people (or stabbing, or
beating with a lead pipe, or other ways of injuring people) and to have
HALF the damn peoplein the country think he's a HERO!  If that's your
hero, please, PLEASE, stay away from me.  I don't want to be reaching in
my pocket for something just to be shot by some asshole who thinks I'm
going to mug him.  

I have an idea.  Let's put all the people who think he's a hero on one
half of the country, and when they're done blowing each other away,the
other half can repopulate it.
