It's all circling around the same problem of personal liberties," Walter said. "People came to this country for either money or freedoms all the more angrily. Even if smoking kills you, even if you can't afford to feed your kids, even if your kids are getting shot down by maniacs with assault rifles. You may be poor, but the one thing nobody can take away from you is the freedom to fuck up your life whatever way you want to. That's what Bill Clinton figured out - that we can't win elections by running against personal liberties. Especially not against guns, actually.
( Jonathan Franzen )
