 I think a strong case can be made that political assassination actually does change things . If you look at the <unk> in this country in the 1960s you can certainly see how it affected history in a very profound way . So if you killed right wing figures , you 'd also be altering the course of history , and eliminating people who might very well be president in 1996 and those who are making bashing gays their number one issue right now . On the one hand , I 'm not advocating <unk> 's turn themselves into human bombs , but on the other hand I have to admit that if I <unk> on CNN and heard somebody had blown Patrick Buchanan 's head clean off , I 'd be <unk> , and to say otherwise would be a lie .
