just as a little justification of my choice of the giant, looming handgun on 2212. it is a handgun used, i believe, in the "taming of the west". which basically meant killing people; primarily native americans or other "settlers", i suppose.. anyway, the main reason i chose it was that its name is the colt *peacemaker*. i thought this was a fitting symbol for war/power hypocrisy.

i just didnt want anyone to think i was simply all jazzed at pointing a big gun at gridcosm!
