I was just making sure you were talking to me, particularly since we both differ in many opinions. I trust you know you cannot muzzle me here in this thread, even if you do not like what I say. LOL ! Kind of difficult knowing when your switch is on or off. IMO Dirty Harry is a symbol of "having enough", amongst other implications (i.e. working in the fringe of a 'corrupt system' doing things 'his way' etc). I can see the effectiveness of such mode. In terms of retribution, grief and money. Not to mention the healthy feeling of getting rid of a negative emotion from being kept inside. YES ! Of course, my hot blood facilitates such feelings and no, I do not expect for everyone else to feel that way so in your eyes and that of many this can be viewed as ... well, overly passionate.Interesting emotional symbols for people who want immediate violent solutions Did I say that ? or is that what you interpret I said? I merely pointed out at the level of frustration it has been reached. The magnitude and possible future implications of the act warrants it, particularly given the very reasonable attitude from te US up to that point. THAT... does not mean we cannot act with a HOT heart, but with a COOL head. Nor that we should act prematurely and rushing into the unknown.I just don't think it is very healthy to give into it. Even in tirades. Yeah well... I am not "giving into" anything. As for being healthy... Never visited a single psychiatrist and I can deal with life quite well, without the need of assorted prescription drugs, so I am perfectly healthy and once again, given the magnitude of the event, absolutely I am mad as hell, and more importantly, so is the US government and military. This means the animals are about to receive a dose of their own medicine and it ain't peyote. Of course, I am not implying that because you disagree with me, you are in the evil side or anything remotely like that. We... as you have said have different opinions. As for tirades... well, don't participate, nobody asked you to. You already know you don't like what I say, you told me so yourself. [meaningless exercise, I suppose]. lol
