So much politics on the board lately... and I swore I'd stay out of it too... sigh... I just can't let this slide though:

I absolutely agree, it's why we call them "extremists". However...

So don't. Just be prepared for more 9/11s. Or not. Wait and see.

It's their constitutionally mandated right to do so, do you get THAT? You don't get to pick and choose which parts of the document apply to whom. Freedom for all is not freedom from hurt feelings and bruised egos. It's getting built, I suggest you get over it.

Because they paid for it. You know, capitalism and all that? Still confused? See above.

Sounds insane to me but then again I wasn't aware America had decided to lower it standards of freedom and democracy to equal those of Saudi Arabia. It's funny, I could have sworn America was supposed to be you know, BETTER than the theocratic dictatorships of the world but I guess "on par" is now the standard.

Including yourself I assume? After all you just said "They're just books. Big deal." So which is it?
