Sorry Kadath, I wrote that in word, since this doesn't give me a spell check. And some segments were copied from other articles by other people. ( which I had italisized originally, just for the record, but that didn't come accross either... I tried to edit the apostrophes, clearly I missed a few, but there was a long time spent writing that and I just didn't apparently have the focus to edit it well when I pasted it into the window here. (long damned run-on sentance, I wouldn't have done in word either when I could organize my thoughts more clearly...) Sorry about the punctuation, I edited it, and think I've cleared most of those up now... and I understand about the long post, but I don't typically give short answers when they can too easily be rebutted without the research and factual information listed... and sadly, that has been known to kill a few discussions, for which I am truely sorry. To be fair, once a discussion has teetered into the short respose zone, the respondants have either said their piece completely, or they're not really thinking and responding to issues.
I enjoy a good debate / discussion, so long as no-one is getting terribly nasty.. (Your momma jokes kinda lose their lustre after a while, I guess.)
None-the-less, I feel strongly enough about personal lberty issues, that I wanted to try to present an informed and researched opinion. Get some sleep, and please, respond at your leisure, but at least read it all again and consider the real underlying issues..
Thanks, and peace!
