Welcome to prison, Tim. Your optimism will serve you well, there.
BTW, it is clear that you haven't yet read Mr. Junger's analysis of the bill. Nobody except a government stooge could read that and not wonder why anybody would support that bill. A complete re-write is called for.
A question, Jim: do you _ever_ just respond calmly to a post you disagree with, or is everyone you disaagree a stooge, a cretin, an agent for the Feds, or someone who should be disposed of with your "assassination politics"?
What's your definition of "calmly." I'm as "calm" as you can imagine. I simply have not a shred of mercy in me for people who can't accept reality.
Yes, I read Junger's analysis. A nice analysis. What does this have to do with the points I was making? I'm a government stooge, to use your terms, because of my points about hotel rooms?
Fortunately for me, Tim, and unfortunately for you, a friend of mine visited me last night, an ex-cop who is now a cabbie (he left the force due to an accident, slipping on glare ice chasing a "perp", which caused an inoperable back injury). Being a cabbie (in the same town he was a cop), and very familiar with the "drug" and "prostitute" sections of town, I asked him whether or not he was aware of a hotel or motel ever being siezed by the govt. for "tolerating" drugs and/or prostitution. His reply was that as we speak, he knows exactly where a motel has been closed, locked up, and BARRICADED with _city_ signs and POLICE TAPE (you know the kind, "Police line: Do not cross."). We're not talking of a bankrupty, or a voluntary shutdown, either. His understanding was that this was on the news a while back. Would you like the name and address? I didn't ask him for it, but I'm sure he'll be driving by it again within the next week or so. I accept your anticipated apology, Tim. Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
