Exactly who is the "they" whom you refer to? I fear you are over-reacting. I could be wrong, though. If they come to my door to confiscate, for example, it would be impossible, simply because one who is dead has very little ability to confiscate.. (I know an extreme postition, but nonetheless I present it)
BTTT!
**We've only just begun...**
And Blanko and Naggin won't like the outcome!

Regarding the ineptitude of our elected officials, and in consideration of your comment, I propose that hairdressers are infinitely more capable of runnin our country than, at least those we now scrutinize as regards the current crisis.
I mean, the ability to react quickly and properly to curlers which have become overheated and are ruining a days work on someone else's head, seems to me to be just as important as whether we say "get out", or "we don't have a clue".....
And you can't blame FEMA if you hadn't preheated the iron when you were "disastered" or "set-upon".
But I do worry that NOLA officials might develop a "red hot disaster plan" costing untold billions in fed funds (with some state funds) that no one will follow anyway.
I dunno about the the curling iron proposal.
Yours on curlers has merit, tho.
See post #144 for a link to details...
Hard to argue with that one.Days before this tragedy I predicted what the "professional victims" would do and say and my posts were removed, the threads were removed and I was chastised by fellow freepers.
That is a painful reality in some cases. But we have to remember that although the Internet is a free speech zone, it is truly so only for those who have their own web site. And if you do have a web site, you have nothing if you cannot attract a readership - so your site has to be moderated (edited) for the reader the site hopes to attract. And that means fallible human judgement. Sigh . . .DU did a number on me and I was chastised again.
I had an experience of attracting the attention of DU:Just an FYI...DU is "archiving" this thread as proof that Freepers want to do away with the First Amendment.I got no flack from FR's mods, tho. And I just threw the text of the First Amendment back at DU - tho only within FR, I don't lurk DU and don't try to post there. But they should have been embarassed to claim that a discussion of the meaning of the First Amendment is anti-First Amendment. Especially a discussion which actually urges stricter enforcement of that restriction on the government.
We may want to put some thoughts to "enlighten" those that don't read properly.DU thread here...shower after leaving

But of course when a Democrat talks about "the First Amendment" in particular or the "Constitution" in general, the terms belong in scare quotes. Because when they say "Constitution" they don't mean the agreement ratified in 1788 but their idea of virtue. If they want a right to abortion on demand, they say it is "in the Constitution" - simply because it is what they believe in, with no sincere reference to the document itself.
It is a sociopathic argument, which rejects the idea that any disagreement with their POV is legitimate.
