As this is a free country you are entitled to think what you like. But just don't overdo it as others will be obliged to lock you somewhere not to punish you but to help you get better. Thanks for re-posting my thoughts. Remember something: no one disagreed with me! Some even endorsed my opinions! I still stand by what I wrote. The problem is that your one-tracked mind does not enable you to understand my post in its proper context and especially at a time when mass-hysteria and hatred reigned supreme. Though we now have a situation the like of which we have not seen before, my remarks are still very much in place. My post does not say don't fight but that government has often overplayed and overexploited "Freedom" to serve its purposes in times past. Mind you, as history has shown, the government has not always been right and ironically, in a democracy, the majority has the privilege to be wrong! In my post, didn't I say it is necessary to fight when we have to? But somehow your brain became unglued on this one. Maybe you have relatives and friends who were mindlessly sacrificed as cannon-fodder during the previous wars in Europe and elsewhere and you feel everyone should feel indebted to them, eh? Don't let that bother you too much as each year folks do remember them on November 11th. But, I am sorry to tell you, the sales of poppies have been dropping all through the years. Maybe that is an indication they (the young folks especially) are not buying the freedom shit no more, eh? As a Moslem-hater or rather, to please Moslem-haters, you will do well to make more cash and a big splash by raising pigs besides sheep. As you know, lots of folks say that pig and pork products can help deter Moslems from fighting and killing non-Moslems. Go for it! Opportunity knocks but once. PS. Why say that you get noticed by your height? How very revealing! To be sure, you are dying to get noticed! Hope you are not too obsessed with that as you may land in the nuthouse sooner than later! BTW, one does not have to be tall to get noticed. Even midgets and other shorties are noticed and more often, too. I am very tall myself but very often I am not even conscious of it except when folks ask me jokingly, "How's the weather up there?" or when they ask me to help them take something down from high places. Remember what Nosmo King (Enigma) once told you about misintepreting him. That should give you some pause for thought.
