    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    My dad was in the Army in the early 60s during the transition from M14 to M16. He said they derisively called them the "Matty Mattel Shoot-n-Shell Rifle", which is likely where the urban legend about the stocks being stamped Mattel was born from. So this one pre-dates teh interwebs.
