Hey, calm down. It was just off the cuff.

I'm not intolerant in general of other viewpoints (or at least I try not to be, and btw, I'm not a "professed Taoist," I just admire the philosophy. The "Bob" part of my handle is meant to signify my mainstream beer guzzling shallow thinking inability to really live up to that philosophy). I just think that the feds need to have their feet held to the flames a bit. We have (at least) two clear instances of federal agents murdering Americans because of their political and/or religious beliefs, and too few people care. If it takes a little hyperbole to wake them up, then that's the way it goes.

I call it "exaggeration for effect."
