I wish to be protected from people stockpiling weapons. Then there goes the 2nd amendment, whoooosh, out the window!! You only favor protecting the rights of others then if you agree they should have those rights. Right? And I don't think it is fair that some people choose not to pay taxes when I do pay The type of taxation on alcohol and tobacco that the BATF enforces is one of the reasons that we fought a revolution to stop. Yes, we've all heard about no taxation without representation and we have representation now. But those items are unfairly taxed, and over taxed. But now we are all unfairly taxed. But violent resistance and protest is different. Then it's fair to say you would have been on the side of the British in the Revolutionary War? By your ideals we are all anarchists who are glad to have this country be free from tyranny to begin with. Certainly the founding father's as well as I disagree with you. But to call me callous and say I am unable to see the beginnings of a Nazi type period in the US is a little, shall we say, nutty AND superior all at the same time. A very interesting trick btw. That's a very interesting trick to so distort the meaning of my posts! Should I dig up your words? My comments about your callousness are in regards to your lack of sympathy for the dead at the Koresh compound and your characterization of them being less than up to (your) par, and kooky, which you have also added me to that category. Should I then assume you would shed no tears for me should I meet an unhappy end, being that I am so "kooky"!!
