Jim and John and Staff =
A sincere thank you for all you have done since I found you in '97. The honesty and integrity you all have shown is proof that the American Dream is a reality, and that there are tyrants that are trying mightily to quash that reality and revert us back to a feudal society.
WRT the WP/LAT et al lawsuits, give them my name too. The First Amendment was not written for corporations to use as a shield for their nefarious disseminations of their select stories, or to grant them exclusive access to the politicians and judges and executives of the governments -- it is to allow the People that access. As they have found, they can't publish only part of the story, or change the timelines, or embellish the facts with lies without some here catching them out and exposing them.
I do agree with others that there should be a minimum charge for the priviledge of posting; that would cut down on some of the riff-raff scumbags that try to hijack threads or start flame-wars just to get them pulled.

Here's to keeping the wolves at bay.
Like, 'if every freeper could give ___________ per month we could meet the dead line each month. 25.00........50.00.....what?

i should, but posting here is a privilege, and having the friends,
acquaintances and, yes, adversaries i have met here is an honor.
let's please continue this endeavor.
