DonMeixner, us guys in the Muddled Middle are being Left behind, Right? / Now you take me. (But not literally. Please.) I was PRO-war on Vietnam---but of course I didn't go & fight, did I? No. / I too support separation of church & state; but then what am I supposed to say about the politico-clerical arrangements in my beloved Republic of Ireland that I'm always yammering about, now I ask you. / And I'm not too sure that *I* believe in my right to bear arms, being a rather Poorly-Regulated Militia meself. Then again, while you were training yer 1884 Springfield on the Man in Black across the street, I was seriously considering the potential application of my 1995 Taurus .357 Magnum to the noisy terrorist cell of raccoons up the chimbley. Fortunately the Wife dryly pointed out that hollowpoint rounds will ricochet off of bricks & hit me in the arse, or even warse; & that furthermore the local constabulary would take a very dim view. So I decided to Give Peace a Chance. // Which I hope Dubya, or his Puppeteer, does, too.
