Well...while I would remind people that many believe extremists should
be shot, the "telling" part is more or less noticing a potential
trend...I'm just pointing out that there is a potentially valid
observation mixed in with the pointed jab, that's all.
I'm not a psychologist or sociologist or a mathematician and haven't
taken those courses since college, so take it with a grain of salt.
