Oh no, cops that make mistakes - say it ain't so, counselor.

Sometimes being a self-sustaining community means taking things from neighboring communities.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Come now.  You wouldn't grant sympathy to the protesters if they all set themselves on fire in the middle of Times Square.  You'd complain about how it blocked traffic or something.
Why would we have sympathy for someone who set themselves on fire?

I don't get the idea that the protestors aren't being clear about what they want. People get what they're protesting against, right?

Only that Special Victims Unit one.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yes, on both counts.

Like that vicky fascist thing. We are angry about something but have a hard time formulating exactly what that is.

I get the idea that they are angry, but what they want done is a bit more vague.  It's just like the Tea Party who were 'angry as Hell and not going to take it anymore', but beyond that it was pretty confused.  Anyway I still don't like mobs.  Liberal mobs, Conservative mobs, neutral disinterested mobs... any kind of mob.

You still realize that now? My only question would be how much of it is posturing and internet persona and how much a seriously held belief.
