@Maave: Its not a phrasing problem. Its a gay-people-can't-get-married-period problem.

@Vone: If they took a hit for a year and redirected one billion of their two billion yearly annual income towards lobbyists, then they basically could be.

You know what's crazy? I've got some well-researched GURPS 3rd books from the 1990s, and they list X-Ray lasers as a weapons technology.
