I may quibble with you on some of the specifics and stubbornly be wrong (since it is only my opinion) but with your outlook I would have no ideological or philosophical issue standing with you on the same side of the ramparts to fight those people off...:)

No, not peeved. I guess that whole thing is a bit more complicated than I can figure out. I re-read your answer a few times trying to get it but it’s a bit more complicated than my experience on the net.

As for the one score I already knew it’s not a good thing and they are just trying to limit freedom of expression, I just felt I didn’t need to be told that. I’m kind of a right to the point kind of person and hate to bring up other points when I’m trying to understand one thing is all. Frustrated that it’s something I have trouble understanding.

Ronnie said it best.

“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”

No problem, I understand your post and your point now. I guess it could come across a condescending to say to people: "Well, if you fall into the hands of ISIS, you are going to be tied up and and then have your head sawed off in front of a camera. That's not a good thing!"

I should fully expect a legitimate response along the lines of "It's not a good thing? Well, no s**t Sherlock! What is YOUR idea of a 'good' time?"

Anyway, I understand.
