In reality I am posting just to save the thread. Later when I get home I will copy the kitty nuclear blast picture on post 7.

As for are we all equal, of course not. How silly a thought. I am much better looking than most people here. I am extremely smart and modesty alone prevents me from posting a picture on my home page for fear of shaming all the lesser males.
Free Republic for me is the most widespread and fascinating source of news there is. It is a bulletin board on the rest of the world. While the emphasis is on conservative politics it encompasses a wide range of interests. I am on a Catholic ping list, a space ping list, a farm ping list, a Mark Steyn ping list and a new art lecture ping list (Thank you republicanprofessor) None of this allows me to post stupid opinions without getting jumped.
We all start with an equal opportunity to post. That is not the same as equality of outcome. I don't post because I really don't have anything original to contribute..... I mean I don't want to shame anyone with my superior intellect. But when I find something of interest I will throw my two cents in. Usually clearing up the matter for everyone. Like now.
But you should know that some people can't learn. Some people will demand the Confederacy wasn't about slavery, that Catholics are evil, and that police are jack booted thugs. You can argue with them but you won't do anything but suck up cyberspace.
Now originally you think it's hunky dory to blast some illiterate schmuck trying to get here to pick lettuce or roof houses. You could argue that there are a lot of criminals coming in here too. So maybe you just knee cap them and then run their names in the computer. If they are just lettuce pickers then they will be that much closer to the ground after the amputation.
Or, how about this. Why don't we simply enforce the border with the same professional ability that we police much of America. We reinforce the border with the military until we get the problem under control. The Minuteman project seemed to be working well without a high body count. Maybe we should get our officials to try a little more of that approach?
See, didn't I clear that up?
As for the rules on Free Republic, I only very rarely disagree, but when I do I realize I am a guest here and remember my manners.
Thanks for reading and try not to feel intimidated in talking to me, I really am just a nice guy. Oh, one more thing. See the tag line? Howard Dean, the DNC chairman confirmed this Sunday 05/22/05 on meet the press when he said a socialist is really just a liberal democrat. Even my tag line is full of wisdom
