    Yep. You owe the bank 10,000, the bank owns you. You owe the bank 10,000,000,000,000, you own the bank.

          Admirable idea - however, just like gun bans it takes one nut with an illegal gun/nuke to ruin people's day.

            The problem is that having bigger or more nukes isn't going to stop a single nut and that single nut could wipe out an entire small nation (Andorra size) with a single act.

              So nuke control is good in theory but horrible in practice?

              Fortunately, no nut has fired off a nuke, so that's a hypothesis.

                Nuke control is good for modern society, and has no impact on lone wolves. Therefore we should do it.

                  So long as they remain difficult to procure, we shouldn't have an issue with a nut setting off a device. The problem is that nations known for sponsoring terrorism may not show great restraint in handing out these weapons to people who support their cause, and whose causes they support. We need to take some action to keep those nations from developing these weapons, it's just a matter of what actions could possibly work.

                            The punchline in that poll:
                            "How much do you trust North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to act responsibly in handling the situation involving North Korea: a great deal, a good amount, just some, or not at all?"
                            Unsure: 3%
                            Not at all: 76%
                            Just some: 13%
                            A good amount: 3%
                            A great deal: 4%

                              I like how that question is worded. How much do you trust North Korea's leader to act in a situation involving North Korea? Isn't that what he does daily?
