Then perhaps you would have a happier life on a different forum where the compromises you make with life issues would be welcome. We are a pro-life forum here and no matter who responds to your assertions, you just "don't get it".

I'm perfectly happy here - there are numerous libertarian-leaning Freepers out there, I'm not the only one. And, there is a long history of balancing freedom and safety/life - it ISN'T a black and white issue, not matter how many times you repeat the opposite to yourself.

If I were you, I would be embarrassed to wind up a sounding board for these enemies of life, but, hey, keep it coming.

So do you label those who speak out against helmet-laws 'enemies of life'? What about those who support capital punishment? 'Enemies of life' - hard to find a larger strawman than that.

Please ping them. I'm always looking for an opportunity to show libertarians what a bunch of blood thirsty savages they are.

The deathbots (like yourself) are the ones who advocated and worked very hard to see an innocent woman executed in the slowest and cruelest way possible.

And you're all hot and bothered by it because we called you on it.

Congratulations, Swordfished! You actually did it, sticking around. It takes guts to expose yourself like that, akin to running naked into a church service where you show all the real you. The analogy to bot flies may not fit perfectly but they buzz all around just like librarians. Usually the scent of death attracts more than one.

Now, I apologize for a heavy bias. I have always had a problem with librarians. Perhaps it was when I was shushed to my huge embarrassment, and reduced to a whisper. It caused me to hate Dewey Decimals as much as paying late fees.

Our librarian wouldn't help me find my favorites back in school, like Bobby Burns. He wrote a wonderful poem, "Ode to a Louse..." You really should read the whole poem but the last stanza (the poem, not the Nissan car...)is all I pose.

O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
An foolish notion:
What airs in dress an gait wad lea'es us,
An ev'n devotion!

You are really a great help and one fine sounding board for us. I realize you really do not comprehend what it is all about but, hey, it's you.

Oh yes, I will answer your comments if you really wish, but it looks like O.B.E., overtaken by events.
