Bravo!!!
I agree.....I'm a firm beleiver in "cool".
<warning...mention of the nefarious "g" word ahead........all those with
allergies please de-tune your receiver>
My son and I have an on-going discussion regarding firearms....he is more
"practicle" than I am dealing in things like "ft/lbs per sq. in " and
"muzzel velocity" and blah blah blah....
I just like "cool"....I'm enamoured with the "Street Sweeper"......and will
hate Sen. Lord Bentson forever for outlawing it.....
I like "cool" aiming systems....lazers, retinal trackers, etc....
<end of rant....all anti-gunners may now retune their receiver>
The same "logic" applies to my taste in other things....I like the dodge
viper, the KW 2000, and various "fantasy blades" (custom knifeworks)
although I have no intention of ever owning any of them.....theyre just
"cool"...
I like heads up displays...retinal painters...neural implants....cyborg
systems.....many of which I would LOVE to own...(if they'd just go into
production!)
EvMick..........(in a wicked-cool KW W-900B getting cooler by the
month....<installing GPS system this week>.....hoping to add axels to rig in
the next year or so....<currently five....goal is seven.......if not MORE>)
