There is No Equivalence, Michael

Yes, you're right, of course, Michael. All is Equal.

How warped and twisted is this way of thinking? How spoiled and ignorant?

For example, those opposed to a murderer's murder of children -- and the murderer's opposition to being stopped from murdering children. Of course, he has rights too, doesn't he. (For more example, just refer to the "rights" claimed by pedophiles and their advocacy groups.) Excuse me while I throw up.

You were born into the US and take for granted what you were given because you didn't have to do anything for it -- and because you've never experienced the OTHER. And, yes, there definately is an OTHER.

You have no idea that this system we have protecting us and many others in the world was CREATED -- put together by great and courageous thinkers of their day. You feel it is so strong, because it is strong now -- and has not as yet succumbed to threats against it. For over 200 years we still benefit from the genius of those men and those times, but just as it was created, it can be uncreated -- it has flaws -- it is fragile and has to be protected. That's the least that is obliged to be done by those of us who had to do nothing but be born into this -- as Benjamin Franklin said (approximately) -- This is the Worst system, except for all the others.

There is no equivalence.

Get a life.
