Bill, sometimes your comments are too concise. For me, anyway. :oops:

Who are you responding to, and what are you saying???

I'm not sure what you mean, Bill. Are you implying that just because I'm a citizen of this fine country that I should not or cannot criticize the politicians that run it?

That is a logical falasy because you did not criticize. It is healthy to criticize. That is not what you have done. Trying to sneek in the notion that you are just being critical to lighten your earlier comments is under-handed.

If the system itself is objectionable to you, leave. Find another system that is not objectionable that you can work within. On the other hand, if you have a mental problem, and all systems are objectionable, find the right medicines to help you.

There are lots of people outside the United States who would do just about anything to be a part of the political experiement that is the USA's system of a representative government of the people for the people and by the people. You just might be taking up the space of someone who would love and deserve to be here.

No falacies, no underhandedness. I absolutely believe that all politicians got to be where they are because they are supreme bullshitters. The system happens to be the best one I know of, but it certainly isn't perfect. And you know what? I'm entitled to say anything I want about it. That's the beauty of the system you seem to think is so perfect. Feel free to criticize me as you wish, as that is also your right, but you have an amazingly short fuse from joke to major offensiveness. ::shrug:: You can maybe jerk other peoples' chains that way, but not mine. Really, I have to wonder about your blood pressure if you're so touchy about criticism that isn't even pointed at you.
