Question authority?

Post #16,899 by bepatient 11/6/01 3:17:13 PM Reply	Question authority? No. Refuse mandatory screening. Yes. If she has a problem with airline security...she has every right to go to Chicago by train, car, bus..assuming that she doesn't refuse >their< security measures as well. Or maybe...because some people don't like it...we should just eliminate security altogether? At least we won't have anyone feeling like their rights are being violated. You never know who thinks they're the cat's meow... I bet the folks at the airport have >never< heard the words..."Don't you know who I am????" You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

(On my jury: first free challenge for Cause. Your Honor, this person has demonstrated an innate prejudice to the point of predictability - for believing whatever story an Authority tells him. Here are some printouts. Sustained. Next?) A.

Attack both sides...if your position is "we don't know" then quit riding my back and straddle both horses...ok cowboy? You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
Post #16,930 by Ashton 11/6/01 4:06:32 PM Reply	Oh I am straddling both horses: You Picked Automatically. We cowboys have seen lots of cattle and sheep led to slaughter, and we are quite athletic except.. when jumping to a conclusion with eyes closed: we're too smart to fall for That one. Twice.
Post #16,936 by bepatient 11/6/01 4:14:42 PM Reply	No we're not... ...or haven't you noticed your decided lack of posts following the other horse. You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
Post #16,953 by Ashton 11/6/01 4:32:35 PM Reply	Must straddling be explained too? Only a lawyer would confuse the idea of Devil's Advocate with: sufficient data to determine who IS the 'Devil', in a certain postulated situation. It's only a useful ploy where enough facts are known - otherwise it's just cant, from prior Conviction. This entire thread could have been summarized yesterday with, "Last Post: We don't know enough yet, to guess which side is lying the more." But instead it has proven a rather spread-out Rorschak of personal proclivities, when only an imaginary scenario is available. Amazing what the character map of this unknown woman has become: without any knowledge of her! except an association with a political party. (Seems likely to be a true-factoid, that membership) Gosh - just like those Repubs to diss a Green. Just like those Greens to dis a Repub. Just like those Demos and Repubs.. to dis anyone with a mind. ..and we're supposed to be smarter than your average sheep! Baa Baa

Shame that doesn't fit with what you believe me to be. You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
