First of all, what kind of a namby-pamby faggot is "anonymous" who won't even sign his/her name? Next, I did live in Belize for five years -- a society where the only people who had guns were the police, the military, and uuuuhhhh, the bad guys! Oh, wait -- some of the bad guys were Cops!! Did that cut crime? Murder? Uh, no. You can buy a machette for $2.75! I left, just in time. Rick Z -- http://belizenorth.com
