Actually, Jim has an attitude closer to mine on most of these things than to YOURS, as demonstrated. Mine is much more “Don’t rub your behaviors in my face and we’ll get along OK.” I may not LIKE what someone does, but all I can PROPERLY do is sit that person down and talk to them, pointing out where, in MY OPINION, they are either wrong or sinful, and WHY. I do NOT have the power to MAKE someone behave as I would wish, so I cannot consent to have GOVERNMENT do it for me. That’s the difference between you and I... YOU seem to find it OK to get laws passed. I don’t. Jim doesn’t either. Not the Jim that founded FR back in the day. And not the one who yet runs the place. There are a lot of things folks do that we find offensive. The difference between me and you is that I know, absent Christ’s return, there’s naught but example going to make any difference. Look at the drug problem for example: NO LAW has made one single dent in drug usage; all it’s done has been to fill up our prisons, making the guard unions ecstatic and drive up PRICES, CREATING the cartels and making them both wealthy and ecstatic. Then we have the corrupt cops, prosecutors, judges, defense lawyers, politicians of all stripes, and so forth. And for what? So that little jimmy won’t hurt himself, we’re willing to see him locked away for years, if not life. Explain that to me.
You have "demonstrated" NOTHING. Nor have you quoted me in a single one of your imaginative posts. You are abrasive and fantasize statements by other posters that were never made.
