Now you're proclaiming that "death is great for America?" I have proclaimed no such thing. I simply stated the obvious. Death IS. Death is most assuradly as much and as absolutely necessary an aspect of the human condition as any. It has nothing to do with being American per se. Werdja get that idea? Not from me. Being afraid of death, or pro death, or advocating death, or defending death is just silly nonsense, since none of us has any clue about the function of death accept that it is. What we can do is live the good life (or not) up until and including the point of death. But making decisions that are based on the fear of death is pointless. Our choice is whether to live the good life with no fear of death or to be sniveling cowards who give tyrannical despots what ever they desire out of the fear that we may die if we don't. Take a stand against brutal and heinous despots, death has nothing to do with it.

"Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Or this week?" No ma'am. Do you find fault with my thread decorum? 'made you a better person.' Ahhh...I am afraid that was your misunderstanding. I was simply tired of the gaurdians of vocabulary, taking issue with my use of descriptors and so opted to forego the use of flaming words. It was such a boring nuisance and spoiling of so many a good wrangle that I made the noble sacrifice... I remain yours as before and as ever, unchanged. "Have you run out of money? Is that an offer I smell...sniff sniff...nope, an empty and meaningless jibe...shuckins
