From one of my very favorite performances...you may want to get the tape. fortunecity.com ST ... ...But that's not what I'm here to tell you about. I'm here to talk about the draft. They got a buildin' down in New York City called Whitehall Street, where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected! I went down and got my physical examination one day, and I walked in, sat down (got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning, 'cause I wanted to look like the All-American Kid from New York City. I wanted to feel like . . . I wanted to be the All-American Kid from New York), and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up and all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly things. And I walked in, I sat down, they gave me a piece of paper that said: "Kid, see the psychiatrist in room 604." I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I wanna kill. I wanna kill! I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth! Eat dead, burnt bodies! I mean: Kill. Kill!" And I started jumpin' up and down, yellin' "KILL! KILL!" and he started jumpin' up and down with me, and we was both jumpin' up and down, yellin', "KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!" and the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said "You're our boy"...

Howdy, pardner... ;-) Some corrupt, disturbed, criminal individuals are inevitable and do not necessarily corrupt (or represent) their society. US and NZ are examples of such countries. On the other hand, countries like USSR, or Iraq, or others of that kind - you know the usual examples - have no protections of individuals against the state, and are, therefore, totally corrupt and corrupting. I found your reply to CobaltBlue last night disappointing. She gave you a basic Common Law theory about how guilt gets assigned. You dismissed that theory - on the grounds, it seems, that it was created by men - like the Supreme Court and such. Well, that's the law we chose to live with. We have separated Church and State, and are not ready to go back. As we speak, we are, in fact, spilling blood - and our boys and girls are risking and sacrificing their lives - so that we wouldn't have to at some point go back... Must be brief... my missus is calling. Planning to skip town for a while this morning... Cheers!
