Re. 54.

Why can't it be you and me going over to GWB's house to steal his stuff? In other words, why am I the victim? (Oh, never mind, I am the victim everytime the government steals from me "for the children".)

Um... I suspect that GWB is a pretty good shot. So, the choice of example was purely pragmatic on my part. Heh heh. ;-/

OPie: GWB and I will be going over to Jerry's house Friday and stealing all his property at gunpoint. But we're not selfish!! This is not for us, it's "for the children". We're going to be pawning Jerry's stuff and giving away the proceeds to the neighborhood kids. You're invited to send your kids over for a cut of the swag "if the Lord leads you" to do so.

I would suggest that Jerry and I should go to OPie's house to rob him. It would resolve several potential problems with the proposed robbery of fellow-Christians, to wit:

1. Jerry_M and I are both Southern Baptist and OPie is not. By allying to rob OPie, there would be no danger that we might inadvertently promote ecumenism provided our armed robbery of OPie was strictly confined to Southern Baptist perpetrators.
2. Jerry_M and I are, at last report, more heavily armed than OPie, so we could expect to catch OPie in a withering crossfire if he resisted. Baptists do generally strive for a pragmatic basis in formal association with Southern Baptists from other churches.
