Ha! You're probably some nobody weighing in from his web-tv set-top box. If you're really anyone of any real importance or significance, I dare you to come out from behind your anonymous alias, send me a private message if you like, and say who you are. Any coward can hide behind an alias and hurl insults like a common clod. So, put up or shut up.

LOL. What have we here? Back for more? :) Well, my preferred way of dealing with this isn't Freepmail. It's to repeat what you said. Because someday, if you're so brilliant, it might embarass you. I thought of repeating it twice, but you're young, so I'm cutting you a break.

"Importance" "Significance" Ah, you didn't listen carefully to Azziz's speech did you. We're all important members of humanity. As we fight for the liberation of Iraq, we do so from the high moral ground. And I'm as important as every single person who attended that rally and stood there, for the Right reasons, doing the Right thing. We are *all* important. The troops that are doing our bidding for duty, honor, country, and the people who give up a little time one weekend to support them.

Sigificant. That's a different word. Those that find some other way to help and be constructive become "significant" by making a difference in the real world. W.H. Auden once said something like: "The saddest words are these: 'History matters. What happened didn't have to, and what might have been wasn't.'"

You want to decide whether you're right based on credentials, LOL? Oh, I can't resist. I have to repeat your post again:

By the way, I haven't insulted you personally. The suggestion that you may not be correct in your declaration that you will someday be a federal judge and we will all be grateful to you is not an insult. It's part of the painful transitioning process to adulthood that accompanies the closure of extended adolescence that is the law school experience. Time will teach.
