You treat with the superficial and dismiss the substance. "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." Daniel Webster, who supported the continued existence of the 2nd Bank of the United States, took bribes from Nicolas Biddle, the president of the Bank, during the fight under Andrew Jackson to close the Bank. "I believe my retainer has not been renewed or refreshed as usual. If it be wished that my relation to the bank should be continued it may be well to send the usual retainers, yours with regard, Danl Webster." (Marquis James, "The Life of Andrew Jackson," pp559-65.) He ultimately received more than $32,000 from the Bank, quite a sum in those days. I'll bet he died rich. You'd like him. You trash those who established your republic rather than deal with any principles involved. So now, you can be imprisoned without a hearing until hostilities cease, your goods confiscated and your torturers, should you be among the select, get to keep the fact of your torture a state secret. Happy? BTW: Your disinformation check is in the mail--would you like it in US$ or euros? No wonder TJ treasures your contributions here. No one plays straight man here better.
