Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Hetep and Respect news Guru, The Spider Man stun Gun is a good Idea. Here is another version of that a one hand wearable Stun Gun

With the rise of hate crimes, rentaCop attacks in malls and air ports and other incidents of tasering, there is a new and rising need for Taser/Stun Guns or Mace Pepper Spray means of self defense. Unfortunately, there is a new fear being induced into everyone from joggers to unarmed students asking questions in a university setting.

In this context Ps Zap, the pen and the Spider man Stun Gun become evermore important considerations regarding one's personal safety in Bush's America. The Constitutional right to bear arms my mean different things in different times. What do you think.
