Both sides of the 2nd Amendment debate go overboard. It's like people are 
allergic to the idea that someone might have a right to disagree with them,  
and the compromise is the grease that keeps the skids of government from 
overheating.

Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People 
think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make 
it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks 
like and feels like. Design is how it works. – Steve Jobs
