Fox News Live ^ | 21 NOV 01 | A Proud Former Libertarian DCBryan1

[DCBryan1]

Harry Browne (big time loser in 2000 elections) is on Fox now...being grilled by...AL DAMATO!?....Harry, you are such a loser...tune in and watch...no wonder Libertarians only got 350k votes out of 50 million.

You said there is reason to believe he, Osama, didn't. That suggests that you think someone else was the mastermind. And I'm asking, humbly and respectfully, to share your suspicions with those of us, who have less well honed attenae, as to just whom that might be. Thanks.

[Demidog]

Harry Browne said Bush was a liar that was lying to the American people

And he was correct.

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

"Of course it matters Free, thats a pretty stupid question even coming from somebody defending bin Laden and that idiot Harry Browne all in one thread."

I imagine they said that about Adams when he defended the British soldiers in the Boston Massacre.

[nunya bidness]

I used to "own" two cats: Max and the Grubber.

I'm not currently married and have not been

No children.

I almost made it through college but I ran out of Jesuits.

Don't know about the GPA.

I own many books and I have read every one. My favorite is "Atlas Shrugged."

My earnings vary, in a good year it's $90,000 in a bad year it's nothing.

My last phone bill was about $69.00.

My shoe size is a 10 (my feet are different sizes.)

I had a Gyro for dinner. The guys at the diner know my name.

NO.

Your turn.

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

BTW, when I asked if it mattered, I was reffering to Nopardons when S/he asked me if I had cats, etc.

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

Sorry........nevermind Nopardons.

Wisdom such as you have exhibited here is rare indeed. You really should post under your given name so the world can give you the praise you so well deserve.

[jwalsh07]

I guess you won't be addressing it. Why am I not surprised?

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

Please don't be sarcastic, JW. And truth to tell, I wouldn't trust many of the people here with my given name.

[Torie]

I wouldn't trust many of the people here with my given name.

Apparently the guy hasn't totally lost it. He has certain basic primitive survival instincts.

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

I don't suspect anyone else. I'm just saying that if there is evidence, it needs to be produced. There are no such things as "American rights." Natural rights, God given rights, yes. Not "American rights." Everyone deserves the right to be presented with the evidence against them and be given a chance to refute it.

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

JW, see my comment prior. It should suffice to answer your question.

[jwalsh07]

It doesn't. I leave you to joust with Sir Thinknot. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

[Torie]

If you don't have any evidence that anyone else did it, why do you suspect that Osama didn't? Would it be more accurate to say that if you were a juror, that you have not been made privy to sufficient evidence to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

As for myself, he should be killed without a trial or a jury, after being tortured and drained of all he knows. He wasn't in Afghanistan as a tourist, and he didn't have a cohort of rather noxious folks around him armed to the teeth, with nuke plans in the safe, just as a hobby. If he is ultimately miraculously innocent of everything regarding which if he were the perp he would deserve a slow and hideous death, then he is just rather delightful collateral damage. Cheers.

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

And thus the enlightened one resorts to his home territory-calling people names. It is a sad fact, but tactics do reflect on intelligence.

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

I have reasonable doubt that he didn't do it, because I have not been presented any evidence that he did. Say, if torture is fine for Osama, who else is it OK for? Prostitutes? Drug dealers? I know you care little for the Bill of Rights, but there is a reason tortue is unconstitutional.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Everyone deserves the right to be presented with the evidence against them and be given a chance to refute it.

Again, this is true in a courtroom, not a war. What does what happens in a war have to do with what individuals deserve?

Did the people in the WTC 'deserve' what happenned to them?
Did the people in Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki 'deserve' what happenned to them?
Did the people in Georgia, 'deserve' what Sherman and the Union troops did to them?
Did the people of Lawrence, Kansas 'deserve' what Quantrell did to them?

[Torie]

Oh geez, now in addition to being a freeman, and a layman lawyer, you are now a Constitutional scholar. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. Ain't life in America grand?

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

Can it thus be concluded that in war, basic human rights are suspended? Namely, the right to life? Evidently so.

[Freeman Patrick Henry]

Yes. I just love seeing doors being kicked in, people being drug out, and seeing lives shattered apart by this great government of ours that decides the people can't use ecstacy.
