I will have to look up "Julian Simon" now though.

Thanks to the MSM, the only way I was acquainted with him was when
he was discussed on Ben Wattenberg's "Think Tank" (on PBS of all places).
This was YEARS ago.

By the way, if I sounded snippy in post 1000, it was unfair.
What I was really inquiring about is this: if Dubya didn't
have the Minutemen in mind when using the word "vigilante",
then was there some other group(s) that he was concerned about?

Heck, I don't want some ruthless loose cannons roaming around on the
border or anywhere else for that matter.
And if Dubya had other groups that were real threats in mind, I just
hoped he'd have exposed them and not use such loose terminology.

I don't know since I don't have access to the Presidential Daily Briefing - but even I think I was concerned that groups like the Minuteman Project would not be able to control those out for "vigilante justice" - Mr. & Mrs. Gilchrist are members at my Church, so I recall the issues very clearly.

P.S. - I don't take anything here personally, so don't worry ; )
