arms trading

Tony Blair wants to know how to get guns off the street.

So how did they get there? I don't think these boys are making them in their metalwork classes.

I have visions of exhausted cleaners picking them slowly one by one out of the gutters, while they continue to pour off the production lines by the thousand, Where does he think they go?

Perhaps giving Britain's largest arms manufacturer BAE immunity from investigation on corruption charges on the grounds that it would be bad for national security was not setting a terribly good example.

The problem with the hole in the ozone layer was found to be CFCs. So we stopped making them. And then looked for safe ways of eliminating them. And waited. It's not rocket science.

If you were walking by a river and saw a baby floating by you would wade in and rescue them. And if you saw another baby floating by you would do the same.
And a third baby. But eventually wouldn't you wonder who's throwing all these babies in the river?

Trickle down is a lousy method of getting money to the poor. But it works excellently with weapons.

This should be an animation:

I gotta GUN!
gotta get a better one
sell on the other one
pass it on!

I gotta GUN!
but now I need a bigger one
don't want the little one
pass it on!

I gotta GUN!
gotta get another one
can't find the other one
where's it gone?

I gotta GUN!
but now there's a newer one
do you want my old one?
and on and on! (repeat)

crime, enforcement, violence, war
bigger, newer, better, MORE! (repeat lots)

STOP!
