PullinFool Posted February 16, 2003 Author Posted February 16, 2003 Try going to http://publicintegrity.org, then to the commentary: "Even in war, politics and stealth do not mix", then click on the ">>" at the bottom, then the download on that page - I think you need adobe... Quote
allthumbs Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 I read it. So what? Perhaps you'd like the President to divulge all to the public and press, so that the people can decide what's best for the country and national affairs. Are you qualified? Shit man, we're at war with "terrorism", don't you fucking think certain things best remain classified? Some of you people are totally out of touch with reality. God help us all if a Al Gore was President right now. Quote
Billygoat Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 That's why we have an electorial college. Can't allow "Mob Rule" Quote
allthumbs Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Well we certainly shouldn't allow the hippies to run the country. What a frickin' disaster that'd be. Sexual Chocolate for President 2004 Bwahahaha Quote

May I suggest the following thought: They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 Quote
allthumbs Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Times are a bit different now. Doncha think? Quote
fleblebleb Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Hmm. Seems to me the times then have to be also considered different enough to not warrant unregulated gun ownership anymore. After all we're still stuck with Franklin's philosophical ideals but the public safety and King of England threats are somewhat subsided. Quote
allthumbs Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Fuck that. Want my gun? Come and get it. Quote
fleblebleb Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 You know, if the choice is between Franklin and trask with a gun on the one hand, or neither on the other, then I'd rather you kept your gun. Quote
allthumbs Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Fine, no one wants to talk about guns anymore. This country will never be disarmed, so why grouse about it? Quote
