Right. I feel ashamed of being overly concerned about a single troublemaker getting punched.

‘Multi national business gloBULList Cheap Labor Express types shouldn’t have place in any political party. The corruption factor is way too high.’

A lot packed in there. Yes. It’s obvious. Foreign influences are bound to corrupt leaders of the richest nation on earth.

Only vigilance can purge that corruption periodically until we return to limited govenrment.

‘I would never begin to judge someone in their last minutes when they know absolutely they will die a horrific death ...’

I think that a post-battle analysis is helpful not to judge people but to understand how enemy victories occur.

‘As a peasant, you could be prosecuted for interfering with a hijacking.’

Well said. When it comes to self-defense and personal initiative, few other places in the US treat peace-loving people like peasants than an airline business. Of course, it is a unique environment.

Back to ‘conquering the streets ...’

I don’t know about other peoples’ areas, but I hardly see any Trump signs yet, and this is post-prez-primary here in Virginia.

Well, excuse the hell out of me, Mr. Self-Righteous. I wasn’t judging anyone, except to express admiration for their bravery, and I’m not sure just what you mean by “parse” in this context. It was and is my opinion, expressed as an opinion, that patriotism would not have been their primary motivation. If you have any firsthand information to the contrary, please tell all of us.

And what’s this “armchair hero” crap? Did I say anything at all about what I would have done in that situation?

I greatly enjoy Black Adder, and British comedy in general :)

Ever read Terry Pratchett?

In light of recent news, many brilliant scholars are beginning to sound like idiots.

Know, but I read a serious book by a Canadian who has keen British humor. “Shark Gods” was in the title.

Wonderful wit. Quite a read. He’s a homosexual by the way. But desperate for spiritual answers.

Sorry, I don’t see the relevance of any of that to my comment 45.
