Well to make it short...#1- #2-0 #3-some, convenience becomes harder to achieve when they are flying airplanes into buildings. I can understand and tolerate a little inconvenience. But if I get a ticket for pissing in my backyard...

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

LOL I don't think that anyone at this point is remotely interested in you whizzing in your back yard!

And you never did think that it ever would happen again, in America did you? And you never did think that we'd ever get together again, but we damn sure fooled ya. We're walkin' real proud and we're talkin' real loud again, in America. And you never did think that it ever would happen again.... (Charlie Daniels)

1. None. The war on drugs has infringed on enough of those and I continue to fight for those we have already lost.(Thomas Jefferson grew hemp)
2. None. (see above)
3. Give me convienience or give me death! A modern American anthem! I'll settle for longer waits when I air travel, but roadway checkpoints sound like a way to fill our prisons up with more non-violent drug (offenders?), costing us taxpayers more money, and costing people more pain. What's odd is I support the ones to check for dui's. Paradox stew anyone?

I think we can stop terrorist without giving up any #1 or #2, #3 we'll hafta compromise.

Just out of interest, that phrase 'Give me convenience or give me death' that you quote there is actually the title of a Dead Kennedy's album - produced in the 80s, I believe. Some of the other songs are California Uber Alles and Holiday in Cambodia.

Yeah. When you think about it, Israel has the the most to gain from an American war in the Middle East. American firepower will greatly aid Israel in their recent bloody border disputes. The cynical, suspicious part of me thinks Israel may have even had a part in the attacks.

I refuse to give up anything, when it comes to rights and freedoms! I'd rather give up my life.

I can't see how Isreal stands to gain anything. We are talking about an even more destablized Middleast. How does that help Isreal? Personally I think that what Isreal should do is pull their settlements out of the West bank and Gaza and let the palaestinians have it. But that doesn't solve the current crisis. Bin Laden doesn't like us because we had our troops in Saudia Arabia during the Gulf War. That's his beef. Doesn't matter to him that we were invited.

HELLOOOOO out there in fairy land!!!!
Isreal could give ALL of it's land to the curtain-crowned criminals, IT DOES NOT MATTER the turbaned terrorists want to DESTROY Isreal, and would only be happy when they have managed to kill the last jewish person in the middle east. What Isreal should do is another war of 1967, when they proved to the world that they could take care of themselves by rolling up the terrorists and the Syrians. We should make sure that Isreal can increase it's size to include the present territories of Syria and iraq, control more oilfields, and be our base for the destabilization of all the jihad jerks' governments. Are you forgetting that Yasser Arafatass has publicly stated more than once that the goal of him and all right-minded criminals like him is the obliteration of the jewish state? Our goal should be nothing less for him and all his ilk.

tell me i misunderstood your post.
They belled the cat, ask not for whom the bell tolls now, it knells the death of those camel kissing criminals.

There you go, Saz, is that better? I personally have not begun to vent, and think that we should indulge in some old-fashioned, good old American name calling and finger pointing, these criminals have forsaken the common courtesy due another human being. Why you insist on politeness for these degenerate jihad jerks is beyond me, but since I am unable to precisely express myself under your gag order, and it was no mistake the words i used, I must resort to milquetoast alliterations.
