    Richard, I'm afraid Danes are not angels either, some will do the same here - mostly uneducated people - people who never learned to express themselves.

    Yes, it is sad! And I would not be surprised if someone did get killed.

    Yes Liz, you can tell how desperate they are now.

    Randi,

    Here's an example of why people who threaten each other with guns aren't really a threat at all.

    This guy was interviewed afterwards and asked why he did it.


    He answered, "I am a Democrat and was looking for change.......a change of lanes!" Tragically, he believed a politician.

    Four years ago I heard all the same rhetoric. That the far right is desperate and the left is going to come out on top in the ellection, I think we all remember the end result of that race.

    Just like four years ago we have a group that dosent mind, even welcomes, more government intrusions on Americans and American business, and we have another group that wants less government intrusion in their lives.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    I think there are tons of people who would have LOVED to have the Gov. Agency/Agencies, better enforceing laws that could have stopped the whole
    Wall Street mess from happening.

    "Goverment intrusions" are not neccesaryly bad things.

    I am going to respectfully disagree with you.

    You know... I really don't understand you two.

    You antagonize people non stop and then you get all p!ssy and cry foul when they return the favor. and then you talk about how "childish" or "small" they are for doing the SAME thing you are doing.

    Hello pot? this is kettle calling to tell you you're black.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    I'm so sorry Sparky! I'm not the least bit pissy! Haven't cried foul either. You flatter yourself!

    I don't care so much for smart, I want wise. The POTUS can hire really SMART, expert people to put around him/her. I want a wise person who will take that advice and make wise choice.

    James Buchanan was perhaps the smartest President to ever take office. Yet led us to Civil War.

    All the brains of Woodrow Wilson... Yet he was the first overtly fascist President in US history. (I believe the next is coming soon....)

    I believe our nation is where it is right now, in great part, due to the fact that we all now value "knowledge" over wisdom. Now this is not to say that knowledge is a bad thing. But when not used wisely, knowledge can destroy.
