aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Urge. To. Kill.
Reason #1,436,085 I am glad I do not have a gun or frequent flier miles. It's also reason #9,572,009 I am ... diffident ... about religiously-based gender roles. The laff riot really gets rolling around paras 7 and 8.

You think "democracy" means what you want it to mean. "Democracy" has a very specific meaning: some fraction of the population votes, and the majority decision is imposed by force (with the acquiescence of the ones whos vote did not carry).

That's /it/. Everything else is idealism plopped on top that really has other labels. There are a lot of great qualities of our way of life here in the West. But "democracy" (where it applies) is only a very small piece of the quilt.

If you want to live your life with some fuzzy bunny definition that lumps all the good stuff under that label, go for it, but you're deliberately drinking Kool-Aid to so do. My quarrel is not with you, nor am I arguing in favor of the law in Afghanistan. I am greatly puzzled by the thinking that would be entailed by anyone concluding otherwise.

Balls. Kindly refer to Lincoln on "if you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?" Cordially, you are full of shit, my dear. Good evening.

Cordially, you are being a troll, my dear. Good grief.

Kathy, feel free to delete any comments posted by those so paranoid as to feel they must always post anonymously.

Bob, I don't bother to log into LJ because Kathy and I would probably get into even more go-'rounds than we do if I did.
