One of my finest days occurred when the ACLU came to his aid with keeping his medical records secret. Doesn't get much better than that. mahalo, jo4hn

They've gotten better over time but the Linux groups, here and on the local BBS's, used to peel your skin off if you got a semi-colon wrong in a 30 character command.

If they liked you, they'd simply respond with "RTFM". But most of the time, they didn't like you.

This group can get rough, but I've gotten a lot quicker at plonking.

Besides which, responding to flame fests CAN make you think better and WILL make you type faster. ;-)

With all due deference, that's what the wine with dinner is for, too.

$23.00 here. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you meant for the little peat things for the tomatoes.

If you mean Mara Ja Wanna, yeah $0.00

Ut-oh ... between you and me, somebody is going to have to go around swacked an awful lot to keep the averages up.

People who spend their spare time using fast, sharp, mechanized blades seldom have a large marijuana bill.

When you're responding to someone, it's considered polite to say who.

When you've been here for awhile, you'll know what it has to do with woodworking.

If you don't know, this IS a family group, surely you can get your point across without language like that in front of the women and kids.

I am thinking sawdust.

Absolutely nothing, that's why "O/T" appears in the subject line.

Happy Holidays.

Agreed-

But, Oxycontin will mess a guy up just fine, regardless of the person. My dad has been addicted to it (with prescription) for about 10 years now, and he's well down the road of senility, even though he's not even 50 yet. It's a real chore even trying to talk to the guy at this point, he's so disconnected from reality.

Society is not "wired"?

Gak, more interventionist nonsense to justify the concept that people's lives belong to the state. Drugs are wildly legal and more widespread than ever. Responsibility for anti-individual rights and anti-capitalist legislation from republicans like their elimination of responsibility for drug manufacturers and physicians as well as monstrously huge welfare payments to drug companies and hospitals have all made things much worse.

I wonder what the chances are that you would ever take responsibility for your life.

Yawn... not only is it a silly hypothetical founded on the myths of the RNC, but the RNC program costs MUCH MORE. Putting people in prison for their lives for not harming anyone is expensive and immoral.

But you dodge the truth completely. The reason people aren't allowed to self-medicate and the republicans and quasi-republican democrats push forced medication in various forms is because they benefit financially from it. Marijuana is used by such wild, crazy liberal organizations like the Israeli military to treat soldiers with PTSD. It was originally illegal because it was popular among the darkies, and now because it is such an effective medicine.

I've read hundreds of your posts, and like this one you demonstrate that you are the opposite of a strict constructionist. I suppose it is a label and a word that has had its meaning reversed like "left" and "right." Today's right wingers have more in common with marxism than anything else although it remains politically incorrect as a label.

LMAO. Yeah, don't worry, they're not bothering you right? Selfish and a hypocrite of the lowest order. Great advice: don't follow principles except against a threat that is close to meaningless that is other than helping totalitarians take power. I sure am worried about "terrorists." What a yawner.

Yo, simpleton, ALCOHOL IS A DRUG. Alcohol is the most devastating and harmful drug in the US and probably the world. Your doltish, retarded logic about "getting drunk" is contradicted by every piece of anecdotal and medical literature in the world. Every person who has ever taken a painkiller or used marijuana knows it is a grossly dishonest statement, but I bet you don't give a damn. I bet it is just a convenient rationalization to justify your immorality while you parade around calling yourself a "strict constructionist." What monstrous bullshit.

Yawn... you sound like you are posting drunk.

Mark & Juanita's statement above doesn't seem to be advocating "interventionist nonsense." I think they are arguing AGAINST intervention. Did I miss something?

Exactly which myths? The RNC "myths" seem to be truths to me. Hmmm. Putting criminals in prison or not? I choose prison. If the laws are broken, fix the laws, don't allow them to be broken because respect for the law is extremely important. I have a feeling the "$100B program" that mark & Juanita mentioned that triggered your vitriole, was probably a little different than the one you imagine.

That sounds like bovine feces to me. Ecomonic gain is not the reason anyone pushes forced medication.

Funny, I thought today's liberals were closer to Marxist.

As a matter of fact they are bothering me. I'm offended you think of my party as totalitarian. It simply is not true. I do think your hyperbole and extreme passion is a problem, though.

I don't even know mark or Juanita but your response is unfair to them. If you take the problems created by alchohol per drinker, it's less than th eproblems created by users of other drugs, per user. The only reason you can claim that alchohol is the world's most harmful drug is because far far more peopel use it so in absolute numbers you're correct. However, if all those people swithed to another drug, problems would increase.

I like your academic adjectives and terms: "montrous bullshit." That's constructive.

Oh come on. They don't sound drunk. You do. Mark & Juanita have a good point there. It is consistent with thigs I've seen on the discovery channel, news, magazines, etc. Are you saying all of them are incorrect. Oh wait, it's a giant conspiracy of the RNC to make more money. You didn't have a good response so you accuse them of being drunk?

[Mark & Juanita]

Was a bit quicker than typing the fact that socialist "do-gooders" utilize the power of the state to implement "feel-good" solutions for perceived problems under the guise of "charity". Unfortunately, it's other peoples' money they use for that "charity".

Suggest you look up and truly digest the meanings of the words, "capitalism, totalitarianism, and marxism". Then study some historical context: study the history of the October revolution, the expropriation of private property, the gulags, the WWII era, and the various actions of those marxist totalitarian states. Then spend some time reading and understanding the events that transpired on 9/11, the various teachings of the Taliban, Al Queda, and Iran's little re-incarnation of a certain German dictator. After you have educated yourself on the historical context of the various phrases you throw around with abandon in your post above, get back with us here and we can have a meaningful discussion. Until that point, any further conversation would be useless as you seem to want to throw out terms as invectives, giving those words whatever meaning you intend them to have.

... snip of more meaningless yapping.
