    Publishing and broadcasting pictures where the viewer is looking down the barrel of a gun is one of the means that the media uses to terrorize the public.

    You are pitifully easy to terrorize, Silkworm.

    Photo goes well with posed ones of someone draped across the propeller of a light aircraft - preferably with somebody in the cockpit and the master switch accidently left ON.
