<sigh>. I'm pretty sure that in the United States many families are _not_ "losing loved ones directly to torture, disappearance, and summary executions." If they are, you're in a lot of trouble. Rest assured though, Nick, if something does happen to you, I'd want someone to do something about it more likely to be effective than asking it to stop. Another difference in our positions, I guess. I'm just going to ignore the rest of the rhetoric on the assumption that it's just a spinal reflex - tap a leftist and he'll claim that tax cuts are murder, no matter how ridiculous it looks.
