Q:I'm an aspiring artist and think that cutting gemstones would be really cool and fun. Are there any non-expensive tools that I could use to get a feel for the art? I looked online for awhile, and it seems the only way is to grind gems is on a grinding wheel, and that freaks me out somewhat ;-) . Also, what gems would you recommend for my first try? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

You could, in theory, get carborundum grit (or diamond grit for some stones) and a steel or iron plate and mount the raw stone on a handle (dap stick with dapping wax) and push it back and forth to facet it. You might get one done in a year or so. Go and learn about lapidary and the tools for handling precious and semi-precious minerals.

Q:Should we destroy and ban as much technology as we can. Anything that didn't exist before 1800? As anyone literate in weaponry would know that bows and arrows accompanied by a personal choice of knife, sword or hatchet are far more effective than the muskets and blunder busters in real warfare.

IF you do that then what will liberals use because everything is to complex for them to operate.

Answer it! I don't know why anyone would want to answer after that. Commanding an answer like that makes you look like a jerk. It's an ugly demand. And it was totally unnecessary.
