Which should please Zimmerman immensely, since only the first concerns him, no? (And if you broaden the second to "killer assholes," you'll run into some REAL problems with the first.)

I don't imagine I'll have much more to say about this, but I simply have more faith in the intelligence of the target audience. Of course I'm aware that everyone isn't a policy geek like me, but most people I've known - from any walk of life - will have little patience for a platform that cancels itself out in the first five seconds of reading.
