Attacking, without understanding what we were trying to say. The quote that you pulled out of my article was a tail end comment directed in general, not necessarily toward you. The gist of the article was a response to your statement that unless there was "substatial evidence" (or something like that), you would oppose laws...etc..etc...which I understand. I just can't believe your logic. From your article in defense of smokers' rights, I concluded that you were a smoker. An obvious conclusion, since you did not state that you were a non-smoker. Frodo is not a "half-witted, deformed little beast". I think you will find many people that will disagree with you. If you want to attack me, attack ME. I put my real name in the articles. There is no reason to attack a Hobbit. In your attack you argue that you are against restricting the "liberties" of anyone, in spite of the fact that there is a general consensus. Gee, there is a general consensus that murder is not appreciated. You must feel that there should be no laws restricting anyone's "liberty" or "right" to murder, even though most people feel that murder is bad. I agree with you on one thing (yes AGREE), that people should not be restricted in their liberties and freedoms. I differ from you in that I do feel liberties and rights should be restricted when they infringe upon the freedoms and rights of others. For example the right to life, or the right to breath CLEAN AIR, etc. nuff for now... (** FRODO **) alias hou5f!jrt
