LOL!! You have no clue what a meaningful point is.....as you have no clue. There is no equivalency between 9/11 and the Benghazi scandal..... Is there some school all you moronic libtards go to to harmonize your bullshit? LOL!!

Hi zax; Re: "There was a very meaningful point there that needed to be made, and I made it."; The US lost around 10x that many people in Vietnam. Don't you think their names are meaningful too? The list will be 10x longer so it must be 10x as meaningful. How about the 250,000 we lost in the 2nd world war? Don't you think it would be patriotic to list their names here? That would clog up my input buffer nicely. Of course the fact is that these lists are too long to be meaningful to anyone. As Stalin said, a death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic. Listing their names doesn't change it from being a statistic. Instead, what you did was make a list that no one read. You could have taken 10,000 names at random from a phone book and the point you made would have been exactly the same. No one even counted the names you posted, much less read them. No one would have called you on the substitution because no one read your list. -- Carl
