But at the same time, I think you'll find just as many people who, again, would describe themselves as liberals, but who do realise that this is a matter of religious fanacticism, not poverty and inadequate economic oppertunities.

Anyway, I think this article is a lot better and certainly more thought out and coherent than the one posted here http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=83267, which could be described as "similar"
Howdy sanguine,

You were the only one in the Lounge thread,"What would you buy if you won the lottery" or some such thing,that displayed any common sense,in that you said that you would probably build a "fortified compound"..and I'm trying to figure ya out..lol.

You didn't comment on my thread,which you linked to in yer reply..will you comment on it now ?

Or am I just another hick from fly-over country,in yer eye's..and therefore everything that I say,is to be disregarded ?

Have a good one ! :stoned:
