Actually, the remark about freedoms was the first thing I said, whether you believe it or not. And I was brought up in Connecticut and my family is still there, so I am no stranger to New York.
The fact remains that more of our freedom disappears every time something like this happens. Anyone who can't see that needs to "get a grip" himself. BTW, "Carolyn" is not a name usually associated with "man."
Carolyn
And you're right, whether I believe the freedoms idea was the first thing that popped into your head is irrelevant. If it truly was, than I'm no longer shaking my head in dis-belief at your ability to fit a story to your agenda. What I'm doing instead is wondering what kind of person you can possibly be.
However, you assist me with the question by admitting you're from CT. As anyone from the Central-Northern NJ/NYC area will tell you, Connecticut may as well be a foreign country. You folks may consider yourself to be metro area, but you're not.
