To whom do we issue the letters of marque?

They should be issued to anyone interested in killing our enemies for a bounty.

Do you mean who do we name as our enemy? Certainly not all of Islam.

Do you not see a clash of civilizations, as Carton does?

No, but I can understand the desire for simple answers like that.

"They wanted to kill me because I'm free, but since the Bill of Rights was gutted, I'm feeling much safer now."

You just like to argue, don't you?

Well... when I got home tonight and saw your questions, I was going to haul out my stuff and go to town. But, I stopped when I realized that I don't have the time nor energy.

So, tell you what I'm going to do... I'm going to yield the field. I'm going to throw in the towel. I'm going raise the white flag.

I took the bait of the raspberry, and I got my clocked clean. You win! Enjoy a pint on me.

But could you do a little something for me. The next time Viggo, or Elijah, or one of them decide that they are against the war... don't ping me. Okay? Then my compulsion will not have an avenue to spill out all over the Hobbit Hole... (I am attending 12 step programs on this issue)

I understand your views, and I respect them. You did great. I feel just like the Cincinnati Bengals.
