![]() "MLL" wrote in message ... Isn't it interesting how many of those who cry "freedom" can't abide by existing laws and regulations. Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Paul Revere, Mohandas Ghandi, Rosa Parks, M.L. King Jr., and a few others come readily to mind. Wolfgang |

Same goes for all those that engage in civil and not-so-civil
disobedience. Anarchists and ecotagers come to mind. Peace On Wed, 14 Jan 2004 18:35:31 -0600, "Wolfgang" wrote: "MLL" wrote in message m...

As I have no idea what an "OHV maniac" is, I am content to take your word on this matter. How arrogantly stupid of you to attempt such a comparison. Well, arrogance and stupidity are where you find them, I guess. It appears that you think I am guilty of comparing "OHV maniacs" to a list. Theoretically it is possible that I did actually do that at one time or another but, if so, I have no recollection of it. In the instant case, there is no evidence that I have engaged in any such practice. Moreover, given that I know what a list is and I don't know what an "OHV maniac" is, I can't think of any reason that I would be tempted to compare them nor, for that matter, what purpose such a comparison might serve even if it were demonstrated that the exercise made any kind of sense. Anyway, it occurs to me that you might be interested in what I DID do. What I did was to post the names of several people who defied "existing laws and regulations" in response to what appeared to be a snide and remarkably stupid commentary on what its author apparently believes to be a mutual exclusivity between freedom and morality. If you look at the names on that list closely and find someone willing to explain to you who those people are and what they did, you may be surprised to learn that every one of them had a problem with existing laws and regulations precisely because those laws and regulations interfered with certain freedoms that they held dear. When you finish school and grow up you may also find that many millions of people all over the world are actually willing to concede that they had a valid point. This explains, in large part, why all of the names on that list are very familiar to a substantial fraction of the human beings on this planet. Wolfgang |
