That would be an even bigger waste of time than my first response.

Besides, I'm pretty sure he kill filed me long ago.


Nope. I would never kill file anyone so entertaining.

Just out of curiosity, suppose you had continued on toward your airplane.
What would they have done about it?

Remember the actor in the first "Terminator" movie who played Linda
Hamilton's lover/protector? The guy who became the father of the future
John Conner, leader of the rebellion against the machines?

The Secret Service guy who was blocking my path looked EXACTLY like him,
only bigger. Much bigger. And he kept talking into his lapel.

He didn't look the kind of guy I wanted to argue with...

Seriously? He would have assaulted you? On what grounds?

CJ is such a loving, tolerant Mormon.


Indeed I am. I am willing to allow others to worship who, what or how they
may. I do require that same courtesy be extended to me. The price of peace
with Islam is too high: we cannot establish a fundamentalist Islamic
government in the United States, enslave our women, and force everyone to
convert to Islam, but that is what they demand. That being the case, the
only alternatives are endless war, the price of which is also too high, or
extermination in the most economic and efficient methods available.

I am far more tolerant than you. You cannot tolerate anyone whose point of
view differs from yours in the slightest.

Gee, I dunno. Disobeying a Secret Service agent's direct order, perhaps?

I have to believe there's a law broken in there, somewhere...

Like we turned our back on our European allies when they dared to
disagree with Big Brother?

We have no Iraqi allies. We have no allies at all in the Mideast,
just opportunists who may have momentarily aligned with Big Brother,
but would cut his throat--literally--if they thought it would do them
some good.

Haven't you heard the Saudi commercials talking about how they are our
friends. I suspect they had their fingers crossed when they made the
commercials.

Wise move. Those guys can turn from extremely polite to extremely serious
in a blink of an eye.

Except that it is not "necessary".

Granted. Still, I wonder by what legal authority they stopped Jay from going
to his plane? Would they have shot him? For merely going about his daily
business? What kind of headlines would that have made? What if Jay had
called the cops?

Solzhenitsyn said in "The Gulag Archipelago" that the Soviet people could
have lifted their oppression at any time. What if, instead of submitting to
the Cheka, the person being arrested in the middle of the night said no? And
everyone around him said no? In the end, that is how the Soviet Union fell.

They know that they cannot kill us all. They know that they need us more
than we need them. Why else do you think they are so frightened? It is
because they can no longer do their dirty work in secret. In every computer
in every house, from every fax machine and every telephone, the word
spreads, no matter what lies are printed in the newspapers, no matter what
they say on the television or broadcast over satellites.

They are few. The people are many. We can also turn from extremely polite to
extremely serious in the blink of an eye. All it takes is a match to kindle
the flame.

Jay,

Do you judge California's democratic "progress" by what
happened to Rodney King?

Partly, yes, of course!


In a country of 25 million people, and an Army of 150,000, stupid stuff
happens.

This is NOT "stupid stuff". This is a mind set through all ranks. It is a
general view on the Geneva convention and its worth held

Which is more than you can say was happening in that same prison under
Sadaam's rule.

Oh yeah?

Dave,

Haven't you heard the Saudi commercials talking about how they are our
friends.


It's the money, stupid (no offense meant).

They are not your (or our) friends. They want our money for their oil.

Have you noticed how many of the 19 9/11 pilots were Saudi?
