What Joe (he got it right) Nation said.
I would stagger through life not knowing what I said if not for the capable and much appreciated interpretation skills of Joe Nation.
For that I am grateful.
I don't hate people I don't like. It's better to ignore them. If one can't get rid of hatred, it's could be because they are misanthropes and need to deal with what people do and say as disdainful (oh, gawd, that could be read as being in agreement with BernardR -- excuse me, I have to have another cup of coffee and a Prozac).
Hating someone takes a great deal of energy, usually more energy than the person you are expending it on is worth.
George Bush is certainly not worth the energy it takes to hate him. "Terrible nightmare" is apt. Thanks, Joe.
Am I the only one who noticed that BernardR admires gus?

No movies here, lightwizard. Move along.
Quote:That 's a factual error.
I remember the PASSION with which I hated
Kennedy and the evil leftist demons with which he surrounded himself.
The philosophy ( filosofy ) of his pseudo-Administration
was friendship toward the neutrals,
neutrality toward our communist enemies
and enmity toward our friends.
A little bit unstable here, aren't you; na, let me change that; very unstable; and you have a gun.
OSD's rant makes for an eloquent argument for more careful screening of gun purchasers...
OmSigDAVID, what are you? Are you human?
I find it amusing that D'Artagnan, Apisa and Xingu can excoriate Om Sig for relating his feelings concerning Kennedy without giving reasons why Kennedy was one of the GREATEST OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS.
The reason they cannot do so is that History is showing that Kennedy was a pathological liar who,be subterfuge, sought to make himself look great, but was, in reality, a fake.
Anyone who has read--"The Dark Side of Camelot"by Seymour Hersh knows that Mr. Hersh has commented on the book written by Ted Sorensen-_Kennedy's close adviser--"Kennedy" YEARS AFTER THE EVENT THAT THE PRESIDENT' S BROTHER, BOBBY, MADE A SECRET AGREEMENT WITH THE SOVIET FOREIGN MINISTER TO GIVE NIKITA KHRUSCHEV THE TRADE HE WANTED- JUPITER MISSLES REMOVED FROM TURKEY IN EXCHANGE FOR WITHDRAWAL OF SOVIET MISSLES FROM CUBA.
This deal only came to light years later and it was agreed that there would be no publicity of it from either side.
But, Kennedy crowed that he looked Khruschev in the eye and Khruschev blinked.
Kennedy was assassinated and we got an even worst president in his place, Lyndon(do you want to see my member) Johnson!
I think you're the guy that killed Kennedy.
And Gustavrathenholtzer, he is too modest to tell you that he is ( or was) an attorney with many years of experience and a great deal of knowledge about the second amendment. His style of writing is one which conforms to the late Colonel McCormick's idea of writing.
Oh. I'm sorry. I guess I just didn't recognize true genius.
I will try to be more observant next time.
He is not a genius and he would be the first one to tell us, but he is a very bright person who can debate with you and others if you would deign to attempt to put your messages in a logical form instead of making irrational and puerile pot shots which mean nothing!
