:I knew someone would take offense

I do take offense at the constant slams to W, and the whole of the gov.

:Consider that remark equivalent to: A democracy is the worst form of
:government on the face of the Earth... except for every other one!

Yep gotta agree. Good to be able to spout off, freely. Ya gotta ask, is
this the place to do it? Will it do any good here?

I was brought up with the idea of, if you don't have anything nice to say,
don't say anything. I wish more people thought that way.

:And besides, that statement was more a play on words directed at all the
:Homeland Security nonsense, which is high on nuisance factor and low on
:effectiveness. Do you claim otherwise?

How many terror attacks have there been on US soil in the past 2
years?

How many might have been prevented, due to the nuisance factor, and the
capture of many suspects.

Yes, it is a nuisance. Are all of the restrictions appropriate or necessary?
No, but will any changes happen from spouting off here.? How aboout putting
the energy into working for change. I'll bet most who complain the loudest,
have not even written their congress critters, or any other public
officials.

You're welcome.

Oh, that's irritating. I don't need you, or anyone else to point these
things out.

By the way, it is good to see you back. In lurk mode, or are you sticking
around?

I am done with my rant, because as I have said, this is not the place for
politics, and I will not continue to indulge any further.

I block anyone who has stupid political sig lines, cause they make me mad,
and that is not why I come here. Switching machines lost my filters, but it
won't take long for everyone who offends me to get back on the list. ;-)
