court approval -- actively resisted efforts to increase oversight for
terrorists seeking guns because of "Second Amendment concerns." The GAO
investigation indicated people "with clear links to terrorist groups

had taken advantage of this gap on a regular basis.... At least 44
times between February and June of 2004, people regarded by the FBI as
known or suspected members of terrorist groups sought permission to buy
or carry guns." In all but nine cases, permission was granted.


What other civil liberties would you like to see taken away from 'suspects'. How
about the liberty to leave Guantanamo? How about the liberty to have an
attorney? How about liberty, period?

You guys are the first to cry at a 'supposed' loss of liberty!


The questions are right there. Don't obfuscate. You get the message!

All answered, except the liberty part -- if they are not charged with a
crime within a reasonable time (say 6 months), or are given POW status,
I say Yes to liberty also

If being a 'suspect' should not deprive one of rights, why the anti-Homeland
Security post? Was the reason just to say something negative?

Also, is there something about my signature line that offends you? You seem
desirous of changing it.

Yet one more opportunity to point out an administration Foul up

Also, is there something about my signature line that offends you? You seem
desirous of changing it.

Seems a more apt description, so I opted to use it

Not that it's important, but if you use the standard signature delimiter
of dash dash space return, most newsreaders will cut your signature when
quoting. Other posters generally won't bother playing with it.

Let's see if that works. I've never seen anyone that messes with a signature,
but I guess I've not seen everyone!

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

Try again John. I still think delusions is the more appropriate term.

The address is live...not good at email? And you are worried about dead
address with a yahoo for goodness sake.

You demonstrate exactly what I mean. You drag an OT rec.boat discussion to
cruising. We can discuss your bad manners here where it is acceptable
rather than on cruising where it is not.

I did not post this to rec.boats.cruising. I just checked the original
post to be sure. additionally a search of rec.boats.cruising shows no
such topic.

Are you trying to stir up trouble; confused; or maybe drinking?



Suggest you follow a ways back in the thread "Some more dumb questions"
This afternoon it was beginning to look like rec.boats, and I posted my
message as a warning. One of the combatants agreed with me and promised
NOT to respond to off topic posts, others chose to take additional shots
at him, but he restrained himself nicely.

Perhaps if you knew what you were talking about before attacking me, you
might be more civil.

Which causes me to restate the question.

Are you trying to stir up trouble; confused; or maybe drinking?

My suggestion to you is take your bull**** and go home!

and lets do the infighting one on one. No need for you to continue to
show your ignorance to those who have already seen it.

And you are worried about dead
address with a yahoo for goodness sake.

BULL****! -- You admitted I did not post this discussion in
Rec.boats.cruising, (see below)and without bothering to read the full
discussion, chose to attack me on an unrelated topic.

I'll repeat my question

Are you trying to stir up trouble; confused; or maybe drinking?

Kind of early in the day for drinking.

I know that rec.boats has some jerks. but in my opinion, you just topped
them all!
