YEESH....Go away for a few hours and all hell breaks loose Started to multi quote, but ended up too many. You tryin' to make up for lost time here Todd, now that the board's back up? I think you've posted more in the last few days than the last 6 months, and your Dale Carnegie "How to Win Friends & Influence People" coursework is really payin' dividends I see We got off topic because Flores liked my sig quote, and he commented on it.....So blame me I guess for this thread going awry David I too care that Nick's OK, but realize he's not everyone's cup of tea, and could/can rub people the wrong way And Justin.....Since you're so big on checks & balances.....The 2nd amendment was our Founding Fathers' brilliant anticipation of government getting too big & trying to rule us. It's our right, given by them, to protect ourselves & revolt again if necessary, to retain the freedom they'd just fought so hard to gain us from an oppressive government. THAT'S why it's the only "right" listed in the Constitution Actually, I thought that WAS a great analogy Justin. It conveyed the point, even if the specifics weren't spot on
