the captain is an idiot

Unwritten letter to a Macho, gun slinging ARA member.

 

Dear Alex. 

We all stand up and cheer you as a hero, as I'm certain your girl friend does, because you really put it to a guy who didn't care one bit about you or your life.  Good for you. 

But does this really solve the greater problem?  Are you saying that we should arm all the "good guys"?  So we can defend ourselves from the "bad guys"?  How does this play out?  Good business if you're an undertaker, I suppose.  But suggesting that we all become vigilantes is only going to turn our already tottering civilization into a mad house.  Hmm...I guess that's already happened.  We're on a ship of fools and the captain is an idiot.
