there IS a difference in the value of the life of a stockbroker as opposed to a dish washer at Windows on the World. It was shocking.

How in God's name could that possibly be shocking?

It's not simply that decades of Legal Lotto has drummed into everyone's head the relative worth of each person's pain and suffering. Our own government -- the President, even -- is perfectly capable of drawing distinctions between the relative worth of human lives ... some of which are the Almighty's answer to the prayers of infertile couples (homosexuals, single women, men, groups of adults ... whoever's got sufficient cash) and some of which are mulch for human research, depending on whether they are Implanted or simply "Excess" human runoff.

Did you also somehow miss the fact that the government's decided that some unborn human lives can be murdered with no penalty (as long as their not useful or "unwanted") while other unborn lives can be used to reap personal injury damages from anyone who causes miscarriage or death to a pregnant woman?

The claims of the victims are only logical ... using the government's logic of victimology.

Besides ... I fail to see how you -- a proponent of the nanny state such that you believe taxpayers should pick up the bill for illness and surgery to save lives and ensure health for all -- can find fault with the Government's being held responsible for making an estate whole when a life is lost due to government negligence in the one area -- defense of the citizenry from foreign threat -- that's actually a constitutional responsibility where the wellbeing of the citizenry is concerned.

How rude. First of all, you are wrong.

Secondly, this thread is intended to say our fond farewells to whomever it is that's gone away (if he ever DOES go away). I've never heard of him personally, but, what the heck. Instead, you have taken the opportunity to attempt a hijacking of the thread to pursue your own agenda.

A better venue would be to post your response to a thread that contains evidence that backs up your accusation. I'm betting that one doesn't exist.

Howlin, dear, have you seen this nonsense? I mean, aren't you one of the top ten nazi rightwingers listed on some bizarre website that we discussed the other night? YOU, a proponent of the nanny state? Laughable.
