ep, 

Any idiot can see we're the freest country in the world! 
Free to do what is expected, or get thrown in jail at a 
rate exceeding most other "civilized" nations. Free to 
subsidize tobacco and alcohol (and related deaths) and 
throw "dangerous criminals" in jail for using cannabis. 
Free to have almost the highest teenage pregnancy rate 
in the world. Free to fight for your rights just as long 
as your money lasts! Free to buy as much of whatever you
want until the money, environment, or patience of the
less fortunate runs out. 

So much freedom, you could almost choke on it. 

Come on, you commie, admit it: you just stay here for 
the Burgers and Coca-Cola!

"You have no chance to survive make your time"

John Ashcroft, the Attorney General, now holds each morning 
inside the Department of Justice.

|| 
|| 
|| I'm not upset, Ross. Being from the most powerful (thanks to 
|| our fine people in the military), 

"Might makes Right" is that it, Rocky? I think we're 
powerful due to our ideas, noble efforts at protection 
of human rights, and intellectual freedoms. 

|| and generous (thanks to everyone), nation on earth 
|| we are used to being critizied 

Feeling put upon this morning, are we?

|| by the nations we help 

I strongly suspect you couldn't quote foreign aid figures if 
the WWF went off the air for two weeks and your neighbor's 
newspaper blew into your home theater. You personally spent 
about $30 last year in taxes on "foreign aid"; probably one 
night's bar tab for you unless they were having a "Two for One" 
Budweiser special in your trailer park. 


|| (the dog that bites the hand that feeds it). I'm simply 
|| pointing out a fact that you seem to have overlooked. No 
|| one is forcing you to stay here 

Quite correct. As you have noted, it is the free-est of all 
possible free countries. Unless, of course, I am in jail on
an FBI case where they are holding back documents from the 
prosecution. (That was in the newspapers, too.) 

|| and there certainly was no national vote to invite you to come. 

ROFL!!!  As if "a national vote" would make a difference!  
Based on recent events, I could get the popular vote and 
still lose. For example, your guy actually lost, and still got installed.

|| This is obviously a better place to be than your own country, 

Oops, yet another sadly uninformed opinion. Didn't Rush Limbaugh 
cover my nationality on his talk show? Maybe you missed it 
while you were watching Dr. Laura's special with Oliver North, 
your Brother in Spirit?

|| for whatever reason, otherwise you wouldn't be here. Enjoy the 
|| freedoms and luxury given to you by the great people of this nation 

I'll be sure to pat myself on the back, Rocky. 

|| this weekend and keep your head down! 

Oh? Are you related to Dylan Klebold? Planning to lynch someone?
(That was in the paper, too. You might have missed it during your 
Klan Rally. ) 

Tell me something, Rocky. Are you one of those guys who "proudly 
fights for our freedom" as long as he agrees with you? Or, are 
you the "onestep over the line, and POW!" vigilante justice type 
of guy?  

Well, I have to go now, Rocky. I have a bunch of fish to shoot in
a barrel -- a significantly harder task than finding the flaws in
your screed.  You have a nice day. 


|| 
|| AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL!

p.s.  Yes, She is beautiful. Just think of what a glory She could 
 be like if people like you were better informed.

RE: RE: job offer from SAUDI ARABIA

[Christopher Spence]

 Interesting topic but I will make a brief comment.
(Still wondering how this became of job offerings but here goes)

1. Guns don't kill people, people do.
2. Goverment is too easy on criminals (at least in US) 
3. Why can't we all just get along?
4. If we all just got along, imagine the reduction in taxes for not needing
an army, navy, air force, special forces, and nucular weapons.  We all be
rich!  Now wouldn't that be nice.

Now considering we are all human, and for some time there will still be
humans on this planet, I will have a hand gun within proximity of my domicle
at all times, although I find no need to talk about it or run around
flashing it around.

Christopher,

RE: RE: job offer from SAUDI ARABIA

[Boivin, Patrice J]

I am reading a book now, called Habits of the Heart, that gives a historical
perspective on different philosophical streams within American society.

One of them is the utilitarian freedom one, where everyone should have the
freedom to say or do whatever they like, as long as it doesn't impact other
people.  The problem is, there isn't much debate about what people want to
do with that freedom, many people just end up going home and watching tv
because they don't have any goals or purpose in life.  

Someone in the 1800s noticed that this was becoming a trend, and he
expressed misgivings because there is no social discourse, he saw then that
some people who held lucrative positions just went to work, earned money,
and went home.

Before that trend appeared, people were mostly self-employed farmers,
wheelrights, whatever, and the town/community was the focus.  Because a
business owner could only be successful if the townspeople like him as a
person, if the owner did good things for the town overall, etc. etc.  We can
argue that that no longer exists, most towns now are just bedroom
communities and people no longer work in the same town their house is in.
They commute.  There was a down side to this town-centric view of things of
course (there are always good points and bad points), the chief one being
the conformity that was imposed on people.  Salem comes to mind...

Anyway, maybe one day Oracle will release a patch for these problems, or we
will be Oracle citizens instead of country-bound.

: )

Er, this does not reflect the views of my employer, etc. etc.

do with that freedom, many people just end up going home and
watching tv
because they don't have any goals or purpose in life.

Someone in the 1800s noticed that this was becoming a trend, and he
expressed misgivings because there is no social discourse, he saw
then that
some people who held lucrative positions just went to work, earned
money,
and went home.

Before that trend appeared, people were mostly self-employed
farmers,
wheelrights, whatever, and the town/community was the focus.
Because a
business owner could only be successful if the townspeople like him
as a
person, if the owner did good things for the town overall, etc. etc.
We can
argue that that no longer exists, most towns now are just bedroom
communities and people no longer work in the same town their house
is in.
They commute.  There was a down side to this town-centric view of
things of
course (there are always good points and bad points), the chief one
being
the conformity that was imposed on people.  Salem comes to mind...

Anyway, maybe one day Oracle will release a patch for these
problems, or we
will be Oracle citizens instead of country-bound.

: )

Er, this does not reflect the views of my employer, etc. etc.

ep,

Any idiot can see we're the freest country in the world!
Free to do what is expected, or get thrown in jail at a
rate exceeding most other "civilized" nations. Free to
subsidize tobacco and alcohol (and related deaths) and
throw "dangerous criminals" in jail for using cannabis.
Free to have almost the highest teenage pregnancy rate
in the world. Free to fight for your rights just as long
as your money lasts! Free to buy as much of whatever you
want until the money, environment, or patience of the
less fortunate runs out.

So much freedom, you could almost choke on it.

Come on, you commie, admit it: you just stay here for
the Burgers and Coca-Cola!
