Oftentimes it's irrelevant and expecting that they care seems almost self-centered to me. That a decision has an impact on me or my family doesn't mean that every peasant in the region ought to be concerned with it. Their lives are harder than mine, in many ways. They have their own troubles and their own worries that are no less valid for being on a smaller scale than mine.

Yes, of course. I would like to watch. Do you suppose guns are something we might craft at home, or would we run into the same trouble as with the cars?
