Mebbe cuz God's word is perfect but the ears that hear it aren't.

The soldier rapes a village, sez 'I was followin' orders'.

He's responsible for his crime but what about 'collective' is so attractive that he tosses out his compass and does what ordinarily he wouldn't?

There's the guy who waylays me on the street, demanding money and threatening violence if I don't comply. There's the guy, sittin' in an office, demanding the gov's share of my money (a share determined by folks 'in' the gov, not me) and threatening violence if I don't comply. Two individuals: world...

I 'feel' insulted.

I guess so. When I access the link from my old ipad it comes through clean; from the 13 year old's laptop I get the message you got. Anyway: read the article. I posted the text too. Unless, of course you'd rather claim an editorial decision on the part of Forbes invalidates the piece. What standard ...

Yeah, life is too short to be insulted by a stranger: stop now or back to the penalty box you go. # "Neither you nor Walker have a clue about anything."

I live in south Louisiana, within drivin' distance of the gulf.
