On the subject of cults, neither do cult leaders sit on panels at the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference and mingle with the leading lawyers, law professors, NSA employees, and Justice Department representatives.
Never heard of the Pope then... or Reverend Moon perhaps? Or Mother Teresa... Or perhaps the crazy guy from Oklahoma or Kansas or wherever who sat with Bush during the final moments of his first election. I believe he was also there when Desert Storm was launched. Has a big university named after him. Oh Jesus, just can't think of his name... Cults of personality are a function of being human, not what that human does with their time. You are confusing cause and effect.
Where we differ is that first, I don't worry overmuch about what some foreigners are doing to other foreigners. I take George Washington at his word: avoid foreign entanglements. Not America's business if the Hutus are killing the Tutsis, or vice versa, or if the Nazis are killing the Jews, or vice versa.
And, yet, at the same time he had no compunction at all against buying arms and influence from France... Are any of them American Jews?... Remember one thing oh Great Bawana Hunter May... He who stands alone, dies alone. What I would like to see is our favorite TLA jack-booted thugs to surround some poor compound and then find themselves surrounded by thousands of pissed-off gun-toting Americans daring the chicken-shits to do anything about it. Any TLA clown that doesn't put their guns down immediately clearly doesn't make much of the oath they swore to uphold the Constitution. And any soldier who fires on Americans is clearly going against prima facia evidence that the framers intended for American military force to NEVER be used against American citizens on American soil. The soldier who killed the kid down in the valley and got off scott free should face charges of treason. So should his commanders all the way to ole Billary. Consider, the law recognizes a parents right to sue an amusement park because some incidental activity led to emotional distress what prevents us from sueing the federal government for various criminal and civil penalties relating to the physical and emotional suffering their actions have caused. Hell, file a suite in the name of all Americans... ____________________________________________________________________ | | | Participation requires more than just bitching! | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
