<jump, jump> ;-) Froggy, Others may not have the time to visit all the links you post. You posted decent excerpts this time, but even then, some may visit the first link, read it through, and extrapolate that they don't have enough time to finish reading all the links and still have a life outside of .debate. Not a suggestion or criticism, just a comment. Some people have more time than others. Me, I hit .debate once a day usually, catch up to the latest message, and get back to the rest of my life. I rarely have time to read ALL of the links posted here (I wish I DID have that kind of free time, but with a move crosscountry coming up, an extremely large Lego collection to sort and sell off part of, and having to seesaw back and forth on whether I will have a job or not when I move, I don't). BTW, while I agree that the US may be going to hell in a handbasket, I guess I don't think it is quite as Planned as you think it is (me, I think that once Bush is out of office, we might be able to pass off his term (note no plural, hopefully) as a bump in the road, something to watch for in the future, to avoid his many mistakes). I will say this, however - your tone leaves me, and others I've spoken with, with a tendency to take your posts with a Block of Salt (a Grain is far too small in this case). When your posts consistently show scorn for anyone BUT you, it's very easy to ignore anything you say. Your last comment on this post is a typical example. richard marchetti wrote: > I am slightly disappointed that nobody has anything to say about this post. > Before Stangl jumps all over me, I am not specifically calling attention to > myself as much as the issues I hoped to raise with the original post. > > Y'all can go right back to the Somnambulist Dance you were engaged in before > reading this message. > > -- Hop-Frog -- Tom Stangl ***http://www.vfaq.com/ ***DSM Visual FAQ home ***http://ba.dsm.org/ ***SF Bay Area DSMs

(...) How could anti-american agendas like the Patriot Acts I & II be anything but premeditated? I mean, really -- even McCarthyism was a planned thing -- it stank to high heaven but it was someone's specific agenda. Just like the Inquisition and (...)

I am slightly disappointed that nobody has anything to say about this post. Before Stangl jumps all over me, I am not specifically calling attention to myself as much as the issues I hoped to raise with the original post. Y'all can go right back to (...)
