likwidshoe,

You really are a member of the word police, aren’t you?  First you have to have state protection for the word “marraige,” and now its your disquisition over the word “stupid.”

Mr. Jarvis has the right to think,say, and believe anything he wishes. To call him"rightwing" is an insult to every redneck,millhunk,biblethumper,cajun,squarehead, and stumpjumper in flyover country. Why, I am even insulted myself. Is there no decency and common courtesy left in the world. Those who call Mr. Jarvis a"rightwing shill” should hang their heads in shame. Or at the least, give up their daily double latte for a week in penitence.

Certainly things that are stupid should be called stupid.  Its just that a)we don’t think most of the things you call stupid are actually stupid and b)instead of telling us what’s stupid all the time maybe you should tell us what is smart.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

But I’ll be putting up notable bits here from now on.
