I read it again and while I agree with the idea that voting to take opm is a bad thing, your machine gunning of those who strike, which means refuse to work, is a bit over the top. < Anyone that refuses to work and wants to be paid from the fruits of my hard work and the taxes I pay is stealing / robbing my and my children future, intentional preplanned robbery deserve to face the bullets, same as anyone that will break in into my property and try to steal valuables. The EU must draw a line in the sand period. > I have been robbed a few times but I'd take it easy on the bullets. First of all I'd go with an educational punishment programme like time in the slammer. When a child steals something, one teaches them about personal property, rather than reaching for a machine gun. Same for adults - nearly all of them are teachable. The reason I ask about the German attitudes is because decades ago I was watching some young German men and reflecting on how the place works. It seemed to me and still does that there is a lurking martial spirit which is in abeyance but could come back to life with the right circumstances. Surely you understand that machine gunning "strikers" is a bit over the top to a lot of people and "rioters" don't usually do enough damage to justify general machine gunning. The riots in the UK last year were annoying, but the bobbies handled it reasonably well. They went and got many of the criminals AFTER the fun was over. In the harsh light of day, a lot of people were chastened to find themselves before a judge. Are you serious about the machine guns? Are you German? Mqurice
