Third, although chaffing you about shopping may seem like an insult, it's not intended as so, just chaffing.

As someone who loves free minds and free markets, your right to shop is sacred to me.

In fact, you are in many ways an apotheosis of American ideals, exactly what American soldiers fight to protect, a beautiful, free woman who never troubles her pretty little head about the sacrifices they make to preserve your freedom.

That's exactly how it should be.

They do it for you and your children, they do it for me and my children, they do it for their own wives and sweethearts and their own children.

It is, of course, the grossest insult to insinuate that I wish to see these beautiful men and women "maimed and killed."

The kind of insult which rolls off your lips without a thought.

Which is fine by me, the fact that you can utter such insults freely, thoughtlessly and heedlessly is a tribute to our democracy.
