I did not call for a "truce"--the appearance of direct quotes notwithstanding. I suggested a "moratorium"--if Mr. Hall does not understand the difference, let him consult a dictionary. I fail to understand the need for invective like that of Mr. Hall. I also fail to understand how "truces" can be broken by **replying** to another posting. I find the idea of arming everyone to the teeth to prevent crime both ludicrous and uncivilized. Jeff Shallit
