Well I expected Tranny to get his digs in, considering what I

However, I am so used to my home delivery version I forgot there
in an online version too.
The cover story "Chickens come home to Roost" is right on the

clue what this country is about. They want to outlaw burning the flag
but don't have the guts to go out and defend it, and by gum people
should be able to burn their own flags as long as they don't steal them
off a flag pole and commit arson. But they should realize that in
addition to burning things in public, being a disturbance, etc, burning
the flag is fightin words as well, and not be surprised when someone
socks em in the mouth for burning a flag. But rant rant rant

To take your tangent and run away with it, I keep all of my coursebooks except
the ones I truly hate. Those I sell. But I keep all of my CS, math, econ, history,
etc texts. I like to have them around in case I want to look something up one
day, probably to win an argument here.

How many cards did you have, and how much did you get for them? I'm
thinking of doing the same. Unless you want to buy them for your on-line

I'd like you to know that I find nothing wrong with burning the flag in
protest. Nor do I have any problems with anyone else doing anything that
doesn't violate anyone else's rights.

I also had lots of cards that were valuable until they were errataed, like
Time Spiral and Fluxuator. That was part of what made me quit.

it's a balancing act (for every Cursed Scroll there is a Kudzu).
You might fetch quite a bit though. BB Arabian Nights stuff is always in

I wasn't commenting on the article, but on the insulting assumption that I
am an extreme right-winger. I am not an extremist nor am I of the
right-wing. I am a libertarian as I have constantly pointed out. I believe
in maximum possible liberty. That's it. Hence when it was suggested that I
would cheer such a horrible act as banning flag burning I responded. I did
not need to read the article to respond to a personal insult. I made a
minor joke about Canada being part of the US, and got called a right-wing
extremist who believes in political censorship (which is what being against
the burning of the flag in political protest is). People assume I am
right-wing because I am for gun ownership without massive government
restrictions on that freedom and am pro-capitalism. This needed to be
corrected.

mis-print or because it's too powerful the way it is currently written. For
example, the card "A Tremor In The Force" was recently given an errata to
say "Once per game..." yada yada yada, because A Tremor In The Force was
giving people grief.
The term came from the old latin word used to describe corrections to errors
in printed books.

In a shock revelation today, Transcend discovers that the belief that any crazed,
bug eyed unshaven social misfit with a log cabin and a strange prediliction
towards donkeys or close relatives has the right to bear arms without anyone else
having a say in the matter does not necessarily make one a middle of the road
libertarian.
In another shock revelation, I suddenly discover the run on sentence, and the
freedom to discard commas and other punctuation whenever I feel like it.

Wheee... pedant mode on. Errata is the *plural* of erratum, which is as you say an
error or mis-print, especially the noting and correction thereof. I've never heard
of errataed, though. (note to self - find better dictionary)
So, "A Tremor In The Force" has an erratum, which would be in the list of errata
for the game.
Pedant mode *off*. No egos were intentionally harmed in the making of this post.

The useage in the traditional sense that you referred to does not apply in
this case, as the term is used in a modified form within the context of the
trading card community. To be precise:
Errata: (v)the changing of the printed text on a card
Errataed: (v)the past act of issue an errata
Errata: (n)the replacement text for a previously printed card (fits singular
and plural)
Therefore, I'm afraid that *you're* assertion that "erratum" is the correct
term is mistaken in the context of the trading card community being
described. :-)
Mode disengaged.

Nor does it automatically make me a right-wing nutjob either. I just
believe people have a right to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't
directly harm anyone else. That includes the ownership of firearms.

Nice answer, I respect you for answering intelligently. Please excuse the next
bit, which isn't intended to goad you, but I'm just in one of those moods:
Excuse me from being controversial here, but how do you reconcile the right to own
firearms with the assertion that most people there are so dumb they need written
instructions of "warning: contents may be hot" on cups of fresh coffee, and "do

When they harm themself or anyone else due to their stupidity then they
deserve to be punished. And to be fair, it is not the stupidity of people
that creates the idiotic warning labels seen today (although they did start
the trend long ago), it is caused by over cautious companies on the advice
of their lawyers. This is done just in case somewhere, somehow some idiot
manages to do stupid things with their product, survives, and sues (or
doesn't survive and their family sees a jackpot on the horizon) because of
a lack of a warning label. Yes alot of people are outright idiots, but
until they harm themselves or others they have the same rights and
responsabilities as every other person (which includes ownership of
property including firearms). The problem is not really stupid people, it's
that people expect the government and corporations (but mostly the
government) to do everything for them and that they are entitled to
everything they want and not wanting to take responsability for their own
actions. Whenever some idiot has an accident they blame the company that
might be remotely involved, rather then taking responsability for their own
actions. The issue you bring up is not one of gun ownership, for you could
say that these same people could not own cars (which are quite dangerous in
the hands of an idiot) or power tools, but it is an issue of
responsability. I believe each person is responsable for their own actions
and must pay for those actions should they harm another, whether they are
intelligent or not.
Case in point. I was out to eat at a fast food place the other day and had
an accident where two of my fingers were badly mashed due to my own
carelessness. Alot of people would have probably sued the company, I
instead saw it as a result of my own actions and therefore my own
responsability. Oh my fingers are ok now, it was nothing worse then a very
bad bruising (which heal fast on me anyway), but still, many would have
sued.

The post says that such beliefs do not necessarily make me libertarian, I

Perhaps you should take a clue there. Overall however, I have been
addressing the prior accusation that I am some right-wing wacko Republican
or something and am merely correcting that issue.

To help you out here are the relevant parts (see I saved you some money, no
need for you to buy a clue - it's here for free)
"Transcend discovers that the belief that any crazed,
bug eyed unshaven social misfit with a log cabin and a strange prediliction
towards donkeys or close relatives has the right to bear arms without
anyone else
having a say in the matter "
"I just believe people have a right to do whatever they want as long as it
doesn't
directly harm anyone else. That includes the ownership of firearms."
See if you can spot the conflict now!
As to DMZ's post, he's being nice to you. I however have tried that and
gotten nowhere, so now it's time for the "water in the Face" approach.

It could have been argued that the door on the trash receptacle (which is
what mashed my fingers) was defective, and quite convincingly as well. The
claim could just as easily be made as that idiot who sued because the
coffee was hot.

What the fuck were you doing putting your hand *in* the Trash receptacle?
You put the trash in, not your hand, it should never get close to being in
the way of the door/lid/whatever.

No, because you are a (presumably) strapping young man, and the woman
who spilled coffee on her lap was a very old woman who suffered blisters
on her bits and pieces. I'll tell you, I'd sue too. Actually I wouldn't:
I suffered a burn here on campus like that (not in my privates though)
when I was reaching for a granola bar and spilled the coffee on my
wrist. That experience changed my whole outloook and made me think that
maybe the woman in the McD's suit had a case: I had a red blister for a
week, that even covered up a 30-year-old burn that covers my wrist. But
I didn't sue the school, because I'm not a 90-year-old woman. It sounds
lame, but the fact is, McD's coffe IS too hot, and they have even
acknowledged that they brew >160 F to cut down on the amount of grounds
they have to brew. That is a phony fucking reason, and no-one else
(besides the school) brews that hot. Hint, Transcend, your hot water
heater isn't set anywhere NEAR 160, because that can kill people. That
shit is hot, I have sat through an entire breakfast and left with my
coffee without having drunk it because I know all this, and 10 minutes
after that it STILL burned. the fact that I knew it was hot and
anticipated it and still got burned after taking reasonable precautions
(waiting--since when did you wait til AFTER breakfast to have your joe?,
sipping) tells me that McD's coffee IS too hot, and if there were Coffee
Justice, they'd get sued every fucking DAY. By EVERYBODY. It's just
plain coffee abuse! Tell me, when you go to Starbucks, is the coffee too
hot to sip? Oh, no, it isn't. Nevermind.

Laboratory, which let you make ANY creature you wanted (although it had to
be 2/2 no matter what). I would take cards I didn't need (oh look, another
circle of protection: blue to throw on the hill) and put pictures of
different things that I would make with the lab (so I could use them for the
required tokens; I wasn't that bored). I had Speak from the Tick,
Stormtroopers, samuraii, xenomorphs, all kinds. The best though was the
deck I brought to one tournament with them... You cannot describe the look

Nobody pays attention and is careful all the time. Sorry - but you are a point in
case. If you can't be trusted with a garbage can, well...

Erm. It's called "classification of dangers"
EXAMPLE:
We're unloading a ship full of military supplies :P
We throw everything labelled "fragile" onto
a truck and hear it breaking. :D
And then we get some crates labelled "EXPLOSIVES: DANGEROUS".
Do we handle them like shit? No. We gingerly load them
onto the truck slowly and painstakingly to avoid killing
ourselves in a fiery explosion.
On the list of dangers, "Accidentially mashing your fingers in
the swinging door to the garbage can" doesn't rate highly.
It's just what we all do everyday, albeit unconsciously. Can we cross
that road before those speeding cars hit us? Is it safe to drive the
rest of the trip with that small spare tire on? Etc.
I bet you think that all Americans think a little Drano makes a
bottle of booze go down GREAT! :P

to slam my fingers in the door and it wouldn't hurt. Did someone grab
the swinger and swing it hard on your hand? Was it made out of lead? Did
you make sure it was really garbage in there, and not the Burger King
Sarlacc?

Maybe he was trying to decipher the wonderful flavor and was so intent
on the taste that he didn't notice his rummaging hand was in danger!
Matthew Hyde

Cut to Transcend, standing five feet away from the can, trying to outstare
it. "So, my old nemesis..."
"Trannie, hurry before the garbage men come."

What happened I guess, is that the door went up with too much force when I
was jamming my garbage into it and then it slammed down relatively large
force due to the force of gravity.
