Speaking of fucking idiots not reading history, you and others of your ilk
conveniently forget the trivial event that occurred almost two years ago on
09/11/01 that precipitated the necessity of actions like the Patriot Act,
you bloody Communist.
Frank, Jon has a right to his views, which appear to be those of someone who
believes in democracy and freedom. And September 11th had nothing to do with
Iraq - they were mostly Saudis, ditto the rest of al-Qaida. The 'war' had
nothing to do with 'freedom' and everything to do with oil. And yes, I was
appalled at the events of two years ago, too - who wasn't? And if Jon's a
'Communist' (a quaintly outmoded insult), what does that make me? :-)
I bet you have a poster of Mike Farrell on your bedroom wall.
Who he?
Make sure you're armed before you engage in a battle of wits. DON'T get me

P.S. - Hey, I didn't bring this up. The door was opened and I stepped
through it.
So let's close it again. Time to step back onto safer ground before Don
feels forced to 'have words'.
