[Don'tMessWithTexas]

You, my friend, you. Are you a Texan or what? Sure, I could use force to establish my rights over my children. Even though I might meet the same fate as the Weavers. Under that same logic, it would appear that Michael would be justified to use all means necessary to prevent the state from exercising his rights as a spouse.

By the way, would you mount the same effort and expend the same energy to defend my parental rights as you have expended in defense of this poor woman?

If your children were in a life or death situation, you betcha!

Damn tootin...

Why would you assume that you have to use brutal force to be a Texan? Or that I suggested that? If you're going to cop the DMWT screen name, then why doesn't that mean smart force instead? Ergo, are you a Texan or what?
