This thread topic reminds me of Bruce Cockburn's song "If I had a Rocket Launcher"


Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay

I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate

On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate

I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die

Faux News Studios, especially when that meathead Sean Hannity is there, preferably when he has Ann Coulter on as a guest.

That would take a long time for me to accurately figure out, wouldn't want to waste my single shell.

During all of the studying and examination, you'd become too attached to your single shell, and your commitment would prevent you from exploding the only thing you've ever loved. You'd become friends with it, place it in a corner of your living room and call him Howie.

I'd aim right at the San Andreas fault where there is a perfectly mapped out stress point that would cause California to fall into the ocean.
