Trias' comment on the screed by Lew Rockwell columnist Robert Higgs was an excellent piece of reductio ad absurdum.
So, me being myself, I just couldn't stand for the reductio part, and had to inflate it a bit.
But it's rather longish, so I stuck it below the fold, in the Flash Traffic/Extended Entry.
So, c'mon - come to where... Ev'ry bullet is Sacred!
HIGGS:
There are warriors in the world.
There are Soldiers and Sailors.
There are Marines and Airmen, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.
I'm a American Pundit,
And have been since I could write,
And the one thing they say about the pundits is:
We're mostly full of shite!
You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on
But you better never miss with your gun!
Every bullet is sacred.
Every bullet is great.
If a bullet is wasted,
Higgs gets quite irate!
GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
Higgs shall make them pay for
Each bullet that can't be found.
CHILDREN:
Every bullet is wanted.
Every bullet is good.
Every bullet is needed
In your neighborhood!
MUM:
Army, Muji, Taliban,
Shoot theirs just anywhere,
But Higgs loves those who treat their
Bullets with more care!
MEN:
Every bullet is sacred.
Every bullet is great.
WOMEN:
If a bullet is wasted,...
CHILDREN:
...Higgs get quite irate.
IMAM:
Every bullet is sacred.
BRIDE and GROOM:
Every bullet is good.
NANNIES:
Every bullet is needed...
SHEIKHS:
...In your neighbourhood!
CHILDREN:
Every bullet is useful.
Every bullet is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
Higgs needs everybody's.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!
ROCKWELL:
Let the Muji spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
GHOST OF RIPLEY:
Higgs shall strike them down for
Each bullet that's spilt in vain.
EVERYONE:
Every bullet is sacred.
Every bullet is good.
Every bullet is needed
In your neighbourhood.
Every bullet is sacred.
Every bullet is great.
If a bullet is wasted,
Higgs gets quite iraaaaaate!
