That's taking a satire obvious to most -- and certainly so in the ebullient style of FresnoDA combined with the locale of the smokey backroom -- and making a mountain out of a molehill. Can any org sustain crossing big ranges when we stub our toes and breakdown over every molehill?

I've been posting here since '98 and rarely comment on these threads - even after losing many good FReepin' friends.

IMHO Joe, FR is big enough to house both politically active FReepers and keyboard commandos. The problem has always been that factions here seem to think that the struggle is against each other.

The way I have always thought of JimRob's mission statement is that the only requirement of FReepers is to love and fight for the constitution. The manner in which this expresses itself can be as diverse as the Founding Fathers thoughts were on the subject.

I have been often flamed but never banned because I have always believed in walking away from a fight that has no constructive aim, and little but vituperative content.

Fight on BADJOE, and, whether we're on the same side of a particular issue or not, I know we're on the same side in the battle.
