It seems to me that the prosecution, the conduct of the trial, the verdict and most of the reaction to it are un-American.
What is negligent if it is not disregard, non-interference, laissez-faire, insouciance, nonchalance, cool, caveat-emptor, forbearance, not uptight, not pedantic, gone fishing etc? And what is reckless if not the frontiersman, the riverboat gambler, the test pilot, the chancer?
All quite normal principles of evolution and medical and scientific research. Oozing from the pores of Ed Chernoff, Larry King and Jack Nicholson.
From Dave's unspirited and equivocating response we can easily see that his general position is a mere pose adopted for shock effect which any rep. actor or actress can turn on at will.
He ought to be up in arms at the barefaced nannying we have been witness to not least that of firefly and her coteries of do-gooding little charges. She would make a fine traffic warden would firefly. The whole bloody town would be neatly and properly parked. And a good thing too she would no doubt say.
Think of the diligence, the pains, the assiduity, the worry and the tender loving care she benevolently extends to our welfare. The orderliness, the attention to detail, the thoroughness and meticulousness, of her pedantic nature and scrupulous vigilance, are the very qualities to look for in a baby-sitter. One might easily see that a good dose of such things imparted from behind a wagging, stiff finger will produce the sort of nervous prostration and indecisive anxiety which will render us all catatonic and malleable to her control.
Quote:Fight your little fight, my boy,
fight and be a man.
Don't be a good little, good little boy
being as good as you can
and agreeing with all the mealy-mouthed, mealy-mouthed
truths that the sly trot out
to protect themselves and their greedy-mouthed, greedy-mouthed
cowardice, every old lout.
D.H.Lawrence. Don'ts.
That's what Larry King meant by "not at all". Bloody barrack-room lawyers and commie apparatchiks and spin-doctors dropping us all in the **** with their nit-picking in the fine print and not a drop of sweat or a calloused hand in sight. Eating, talking, shitting machines.
You have a lot to learn about freedom Dave. A very lot.
