You know what?

If someday Xena's Guy tries to murder me, and for whatever reason my parents can't save me, the government DAMN WELL BETTER STEP IN.

Government exists to do that which we cannot do for ourselves.

Xena - I like you, and from what I have read of your posts, I respect you as well.

But your above statement sounds a lot like the mindset we hear on the Left, and further demonstrates the bizarre irony of this sick circus - i.e., we've got the Left - party of compassion and sensitivity - calling for her death, and folks on the Right crying to the government to "cure what ails them". Like it or not, honorable cause or not - it's the same thing the Left did in the 2000 election, and we've validated it.

And this won't be the last circus, to be sure. Count on it.
