As a counter point to the excessive presence of gun culture in the USA (personified in the overly powerful, overly influential and un-remorseful NRA), are there any influential groups in the USA that stand for Peace or (dare I say it) Pacifism?
How about Churches or christian denominations getting involved and making a move in this direction.
Any christian that advocates the right to bear arms without regulation clearly does not understand the Bible or the teaching of Jesus, especially in this Christmas season where he is referred to as the Prince of Peace (Isa.9.6 - http://nlt.to/Isa.9.6)
I'm sorry, how can any sane, right minded person advocate that the answer to the series of mass murders in the USA over recent time is to have more guns out there in the hands of ordinary people? Really? Seriously?

My Life
My life is not in computers
My life is not in poker
My life is not in politics or green issues
My life is not in my family
My life is not in cross stitching or sound engineering or music or money or possesions or all the other things that I have been obsessed with over the years
My life is not in this world
My life is in God and Jesus even when they feel like they are a million miles away and that I feel like I am the loneliest person in the world

British National Anthem Words
1. God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen
2. O Lord our God arise
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall
Confound their politics
Frustrate their knavish tricks
On Thee our hopes we fix
God save us all
3. Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour
Long may she reign
May she defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen
4. Not in this land alone
But be God's mercies known
From shore to shore
Lord make the nations see
That men should brothers be
And form one family
The wide world over
5. From every latent foe
From the assassins blow
God save the Queen
O'er her thine arm extend
For Britain's sake defend
Our mother, prince, and friend
God save the Queen

A possible way to reuse an old PowerPC Mac
Here's a thought on how to reuse an old PowerPC Mac like the eMac. Port Android to PowerPC (preferably version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)). There's already a X86 port for older PC's (such as the original EEE PC's) so why not PowerPC Macs?
