Boo. Take the time to at least find out where we are in the discussion. I would expect someone in 6th gear to understand that. Because you didn't, you just restated much that has already been said, just not as well put, and stirred up issues that we have already resolved.

I can't believe you used the "move to France or a socialist country", aka the "love it or leave it" fallacy. This is OUR country too and we have a right to change it. If you don't like change maybe you should move.

Take some time out of your busy life to read the posts so you don't waste our time with yours.

Ooohhh! Someone pee in your Wheaties?
I'll post any danged thing I like, thank you very much. I don't need your permission or approval to do so, either.

Oh, and I apologized in advance for possibly bringing up old news. Apparently that was lost on you.

fire is out. . .

Eh, don't worry about it. . . I shouldn't be suprised at stuff like that anymore on here. . . Can't get bent out of shape everytime.

I see you'll be up at MITM2 this year- We'll have to have a drink and talk about. . . british comedy. No sense ruining a perfectly good conversation with politics.

Do they even make wheaties anymore? They probably pulled them recently before they shelved the Michael Vick box- Kids will have to just eat these instead:

Today's Washington Post had an update on this story. Check out today's Post online. Apparantly the original story has generated 58 pages of comments on their website. Some agree, some disagree, some say they dont like Hummers but the vandalism was wrong.

Some backlash has been generated with Hummers getting together to support the person involved. I guess some Hummers owners are auto enthusiasts too.

The most significant thing, IMO, in the article is that the FBI has taken over the investigation as ECOTERRORISM. Does that mean if the vandals get caught their heading to gitmo?

pl4ypl4y, please note that political discussion is not permitted on NAM, per the NAM Site Guidelines:

Probably not the backlash you expected, huh?

It doesn't matter if you're pro-Bush, anti-Bush, pro-choice, pro-life, pro or anti death penalty, etc...

We simply don't allow any of it here. Cooler heads prevail then, so we can focus on the things we DO have in common, like our love of MINIs.
