This concept is so full of holes you could use it as a tennis racket.

@Zalethon: No worries. All my comments should be taken with a grain of salt anyway - and some tequila doesnt hurt, either.

Sorry, those look nothing like the originals from the movie.

@Anonymoose: It has been many a year since I have last seen that. Kudos to you sir.

They also announced today that they got an $800 million supply contract with the USAF.

@Zalethon: Pardon my lack of clarity. By "a citizen army" I was referring to the meaning of army as "a great multitude" - in this case of pro-active citizens.

@Pope John Peeps II: I call to organize a Gizmodo BBQ on Pope John Peeps IIs nice public property driveway! ;)

@Strakus: hearted for that sir.

@Namarrgon: Thank you for this comment. I was about to get angry about the Kurzweil books I have, particularly "Fantastic Voyage" even though I have followed exactly none of its advice to this point... Still its nice to know at least that the man isnt a total quack.

@Andrew from FabulousSavings: ... unless you're the Penguin.

@MJDeviant: Money is the only thing the government cares about. Take some from them and they make sure it doesn't happen again.

@Grindhouse Murders: Someone should sue the camera operator for making sure that no clear shots of police brutality were captured. THAT is garbage.
