I once read a bomb-making book that a soldier had left behind in my grandparents rental property (gave it to the library and the librarian threw it out); what I remember, after 30 years, would make me really dangerous, to myself!
My two grandfathers, both pretty arch conservatives, taught me to pay close attention to whoever is in the "bully pulpit" and the bad decisions that are made in the "heat of action!"
It would be nice if the black helicopters and the men in black would let me sleep at night!
