But there is indeed a degree

Post #269,096 by bepatient 10/1/06 12:54:08 PM Reply	But there is indeed a degree you seem to believe that because he chose >this< as his platform, that I should feel differently about the outcome...because to not do so is somehow lessening the cause. I doubt his cause. I doubt his sincerity with this cause and, as posted to drook, liken this to the "jackass" version of protest. So, since I doubt his intention was to do anything BUT barb a TSA guy, I am completely unwilling to give it any status towards "the cause". And to be completely accurate, the TSA guy was at least marginally correct in stating that the 1st amendment doesnt necessarily apply unfettered in his "sphere of authority". There are legal limitations imposed once you pass into his world. But to be clear. NO this is not a forgiveness and NO I don't think it applied to the message written on the bag. But I repeat, I will not elevate a man undertaking a juvenile prank be raised to a level in my head of "freedom fighter" rallying to any cause. If this is somehow dangerous to the American dream...oh well. Both sides were wrong...and in the spirit of my point on this subject all along...you and Rand can post on this to your hearts content....I am wasting no more pixels on the subject...he doesn't deserve it. Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry._{Adrian Belew}

Well played, old son! Would that the President had the sense to quit! cordially, Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

Someone does [any old thing] that might interfere with the efficient-transport-of goods / lemmings whatever: that is tantamount to inhibiting the committing of Capitalism. Why, it's a direct >attack< on The Market! And as all know, The Market WILL Correct. Or the straw-Biker-bar snockered-lad consensus. Same thing. (We 'bikers' oft opined that, Harley's Suck - wanna race? Nary a One wanted to choose off.. any old [1000 cc = smaller displacement] random Vincent.) PS - with a precious few exceptions (copies of Engl. bikes of yore.. sorta but way-Fatter: they STILL suck - all they are is pretty (for those who think Cadillacs are pretty) and heavy 2-wheel Hummers. Bought by people who also buy Rollexi - or wish they could. Blings. Why, from that, any Econ major could deduce: Harley Riders are Cowards/wimps! precisely same process by which you immediately characterized the above incident: pulled-outta-ass. Thus: your dogged, one might say intransigent defense of the Smooth Operation of Just Everything -no matter any minor consequences- to say, the continued pursuit of life, liberty and happiness? and all that irrelevant crybaby Constitutional crap which -- interferes with the mathematics of Economics Theory. Your stand is utterly predictable, on so many topics - if folks will just recall that, Principally what you are is: an Econ Major, subsequently - evangelist? (with no pesky Minors to confuse your worldview). Does it suck to have become predictable? We needn't go into 'admirable' and other such not-Efficiency-associated word things. It would waste more time. Carrion.
