reminded of that Hogan Hero’s line where the Nazi General says
‘’you will have a fair trial after which you will be shot’
I think there was a lot of that dry humor in the Soviet Union. They knew they had a lemon on their hands. They just didn’t know how to get rid of it, until Reagan came along.
That’s the power of a positive mind.
Reagan freed up hundreds of millions of people, and kept billions more free over his eight years. The U.S.S.R. crumbled after he left office, but this is one time when the former president deserved the credit.
We have another guy like that right now.
This world will change for the better.
Vooch, I wanted to address your comments in relation to Koresh and the military assault on the farm.
I don’t know what took place at the farm. He could have been a really bad guy, abusing folks there.
So far, none of this is evident. I know the young girl testified, but I’ve forgotten her testimony. She may have revealed some things he did with her and I forgot. It’s been quite a while.
In years past, the ages of consent were pretty low, with parental permission. I mention this because I have bit harder time accepting someone being demonized of something that twenty years earlier was legal.
The law is the law, and I think the age of consent for marriage or even sex, should be higher. If we’re talking two kids, kids will be kids. If we’re talking about a clear adult and a child, that’s pretty despicable in my mind.
These thoughts sound a bit convoluted. We live in a nation where the death penalty is seldom enforced. Texas happens to be a state where it does, but even the federal government has seemed to stop conducting executions.
With this in mind, executing the folks at the Koresh Farm seemed to be just fine with Hillary and Web Hubble. They were running the command center after sending Janet Reno out to buy some new pumps.
All that firepower leveled at a house with ten kids and 70 or so adults...
Your comment was right on target.
“You will have a fair trial after which you will be shot...” or incinerated.
