Sorry about that, didn't mean to infer that you suggested anything, I was talking in the context of history. The point I was trying to make is that if you start a job, you have to finish it, or it will surely come back to bite you in the rear-end...regardless of how distasteless or unpopular finishing said job may be (witness Vietnam and Gulf War I to name just two involving the U.S.). Again, sorry, I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth.

Yeah, but how do us balding, but still extremely good-looking guys explain the hairspray?

When you want to destroy the network that supports them, which is their countrymen, their religious beliefs, and their country and you eliminate all, that is not war, that is genocide.

Many condemn Hitler in words, but still subscribe to his methods, and they are not German.

I don't think it was a plot against Senator Ted Kennedy, but I do believe it was done intentionally to show how easily the TSA and the Patriot Act can impede the fortunes of the masses.

If you are a regular flyer who makes money with your commutes, being put on a no fly list will hamper your ability to make a living. If you are socially active and you become deathly ill requiring your transportation by plane, placement on a no fly list can get you killed.

It does not matter who is in power as power corrupts everyone, but the legal existance of a no fly list jeapordizes the oppositions ability to function at the discretion of those that control the no fly list.

Sorry, but I am done on this thread.

Too much seriousness makes for bad stomachs.

Good luck to the rest of you!

THANKS, bounty, that was (part of) my point.

Kind of sounds like Germany circa 1936, no?

No problem. I figured that's what you meant and thanks for the correction.

No, I was speaking of enemy combatants and the financial network that supports them. Who said anything about "their countrymen, their religious beliefs, and their country?" Who here is advocating genocide?

See, that's the problem with seeing a bogeyman behind every tree. The forest is pretty thick, and sooner or later you will miss a real one while chasing down the phantoms.
