What Ed said and I believe is "philosophy" to craig, Fox. Clearly it's not for you and me. We agree we are citizens of different cultures because of differences in our national development. We agree the Second is an enduring US debate.

I admire the United States and have said here many times that the US usually gets it right over time. Your word "resolve"---to dissolve or dissipate---the gun rights issue points toward agreement of Reason prevailing.

Rehabilitation in everything involves an honest assessment of reality, whether we're putting in a crop, seeing the banker, or meeting the expectations of community and family around us. Philosophy doesn't enter into it.
