The discussion turned loud and messy, but in the end, Dolly won the debate and the gutters made their peace, through the assistance of one Samuel Colt.
While it does indeed "equalize all" in a fashion, it unfortunately also makes it almost impossible to end a comflict if people don't want it to end.
Just look at how the last 5 wars or so the US has been in, they go in, beat stuff up and then they sit around in the country for several years with insurgents constantly coming after them with old AK-rifles. The wars never ends, and eventually, the invaders have to pull out, with no decidedly end to the war .. and then the fanatics that are left tends to become terrorists, taking the war to the US.
Bad circle, and in part because of guns and explosives can deal so much damage, so easily.
I could go on about it, but lets just say this - Guns can equalize people, but they often don't.
Plasma beam's better and neater for snow removal than an APC with steel tracks and a vibro-blade to push what ever's in front of it. Seems like an eminently reasonable method to me.It also cuts your neighbors lawn for the next season and saves him from having to buy weed killer in the spring.
But Marcus, a scorched Earth grows nothing and feds no one.
Just shoot the bastards and leave the poor Earth alone. :-D In fact, if you do it right (leave something BESIDES a few ashes) their bodies will make good fertilizer to HELP the Earth grow something. :-)
Nice perspective in the last Panel. Ceci almost looks clean.
Incidentally that is somewhat surprising, (same as on the last page) she had for example a smear across the face, which is missing on the last two pages. The other are either mostly on the non-visible parts or in shadow.
I'm curious though, why only clean up the face, but not the other gore?
That first panel reminds me of how I, in my very impressionable mind, used to envision the space lab I had when I collected Micronaught toys. Totally digging it!
[A most persuasive discussion,
Interesting repercussions!]
[I also thought Black Angels were graceful...]
Inconcievable !

There were 6 words in that last sentence! :)
He also made tall,
Some were short,
But Old Sam Colt,
Equalized them all.
(and if you seen the movie you know what scene)
*just pulls gun and shoots* BANG! *walks off*
On a related note: Han shot first, darnit!
He;s a smuggler

Will we get to see more of rotter? (The guy with the scullhead) I thought his argument with Mira was hilarious!
If I know Dolly gutter your answer is coming at muzzle velocity
The universal language. :P
