It's a necessity for we super-heroes to remain in the shadows of anonymity.

I didn't become jaded or swear-off anything. I simply decided it insane to remain in a relationship of abuse only for the sake of a cultural institution.

That explains it...your use of garbled, semi-intelligible language...you've been typing with your mouth full.

This guy sounds suspiciously (pitiably)like Seahawks.

Where's my Pez dispenser? I'm gonna shoot myself

Wow, that's a sick whack to cause your mouth to contort like that...better hope it's not permanent. btw, have you always had that gash on your back? Is that how you drain your kidney?

There's a cuff full o' gold at the end of the rainbow

They're gleefully waiting to give you a candy bar so they can watch you drag the Jungle Gym down the road by your harness and leash.

amazing, ain't it?

I only wish I could enjoy believing you intended the fullness of that statement.

Or the Ren and Stimpy. You are the Sponge Bob. Sponge bob?? He's satan... hey, Seahawks, since you've quoted Christian scripture, prodigiously, you should know what "Satan" is referred to as throughout The Holy Bible from beginning to end. Tell us. What is his ubiquitous moniker? Seahawks? C'mon, this is an easy one...or do you fear a deception?

After walking away to start cooking some lunch, I realized I hadn't worded my statement to correctly reflect my opinion. I don't have a "problem" with, what appears to me to be, her refusal to accept and honor her adult son's decision to go to war. I decided in my own mind and heart, when it was that each of my four children reached the age of personal autonomy and accountability, and for each of my offspring, they were of a different age. I readily accept that this issue is different for every parent, and that it is not for me to decide whether they're right or wrong. It appears, to me, by exhibiting behavior that may have caused her son to believe his mother did not respect his decisions as an adult (and if so, would quite possibly have brought him pain and shame), that Ms. Sheehan was more interested in promoting her politics publicly (or, possibly used as a tool exploitively) than in plumbing the horrible, excruciating depths of her heart torn apart privately...a choice I'd hate to be given. I'm speaking of appearances. I'm not proposing to know much of anything in this regard.

my problem is not with the grief in the loss of a child, but in her refusal to honor her adult son's decision. It seems like another case of a tragedy requiring someone to blame.

He is Lord Douchebag, you socially inept cads

Here just to prove your a clueless twit yourself and really know nothing. This is part of Roosvelts Portland speach. Let us go back to the beginning of this subject. What is a public utility? Let me take you back three hundred years to old King James of England. The reign of this king is remembered for many great events--two of them in particular. He gave us a great translation of the Bible, and, through his Lord Chancellor, a great statement of public policy. It was in the days when Shakespeare was writing Hamlet and when the English were settling Jamestown, that a public outcry rose in England from travelers who sought to cross the deeper streams and rivers by means of ferry-boats. Obviously these ferries, which were needed to connect the highway on one side with the highway on the other, were limited to specific points. They were, therefore, as you and I can understand, monopolistic in their nature. The ferry-boat operators, because of the privileged position which they held, had the chance to charge whatever the traffic would bear, and bad service and high rates had the effect of forcing much trade and travel into long detours or to the dangers of attempting to ford the streams. The greed and avarice of some of these ferry-boat owners were made known by an outraged people to the King himself, and he invited his great judge, Lord Hale, to advise him. The old law Lord replied that the ferrymen's business was quite different from other businesses, that the ferry business was, in fact, vested with a public character, that to charge excessive rates was to set up obstacles to public use, and that the rendering of good service was a necessary and public responsibility. "Every ferry," said Lord Hale, "ought to be under a public regulation, to-wit: that it give attendance at due time, keep a boat in due order, and take but reasonable toll." In those simple words, my friends, Lord Hale laid down a standard which, in theory at least, has been the definition of common law with respect to the authority of Government over public utilities from that day down to this. With the advance of civilization, many other necessities of a monopolistic character have been added to the list of public utilities, such as railroads, street railways, pipelines and, more lately, the distribution of gas and electricity. The principle was accepted, firmly established, and became a basic part of our theory of Government long before the Declaration of Independence itself. The next problem was how to be sure that the services of this kind should be satisfactory and cheap enough while at the same time making possible the safe investment of private capital. For more than two centuries, the protection of the public was vested in legislative action, but with the growth of the use of public utilities of all kinds in these later days, a more convenient, direct and scientific method had to be adopted--a method which you and I now know as control and regulation by public service or public utility commissions. Let me make it clear that I have no objection to the method of control through a public service commission. It is, in fact, a proper way for the people themselves to protect their interests. In practice, however, it has in many instances departed from its proper sphere of action, and, I may add, has departed from its theory of responsibility. It is an undoubted and undeniable fact that in our modern American practice the public service commissions of many States have often failed to live up to the very high purpose for which they were created. In many instances their selection has been obtained by the public utility corporations themselves. These corporations, to the prejudice of the public, have often influenced the actions of public service commissions. Moreover, some of the commissions have, either through deliberate intent or through sheer inertia, adopted a theory, a conception of their duties wholly at variance with the original object for which they were created I'm in awe... ...in the totality of your lack of comprehension (that's kinda like saying, "cluelessness") you baboon-faced, knuckle-dragging, own-quote-uncomprehending, nitwit.
