Oh, my! A little sensitive, are we? Aren't you even a *little* struck by the fact that fucking with people's personal lives is *precisely* what errant government officials *do*???
I LOVE this response! This is the kind of comment that totally destroys Rich Graves' position: Graves' would allow the government to screw with US, as ordinary citizens, while we're denied the ability to defend ourselves. Maybe I was excessively rude by calling Rich Graves a "fucking statist" on this list, but I don't think I was at all inaccurate.
