We have many local reporters with multiple local sources who are just
itching for a pulitzer prize for getting some scoop on this
investigation.
I, for one, know that characters involved in the grand jury
investigation. State Rep. Charles Key once tried to recruit me to run
for the state house. One of his right hand men on the petition
circulators is a supporter of mine who once made the effort to get me as
a guest on several national talk shows. He actually succeeded once or
twice.
There are probably many others here in ok.general who have similar
contacts.
I thought I would describe the range of opinions of the people who have
followed this closely and who are really interested in finding out
everyone who was involved in the destruction of our city's downtown.
Percentage of people who believe that McVeigh and Nichols worked alone
on the project and did not have other help ------ 10 to 20 percent.
This is the number of people who answer "yes" when asked "Do you think
that the Government is telling the truth about the bombing?" Very few
people are in this group.
Percentage of people who believe that there is was a small conspiracy
among the white separatist movement to destroy some big government
building. The government should have known about this and probably did,
but did not take it seriously (This is the Carol Howe testimony and John
Doe #2 rumours). 50 to 70 percent.
Percentage of people who believe that the ATF had stupidly stored some
confiscated explosives in their office complex. This theory is
supported by the second false bomb scare which cost so many lives. 20 to
30 percent.
Percentage of people who believe that the government was conducting some
sort of Sting operation to incite McVeigh and Nichols to attempt to
explode a federal building. The "Sting Operation gone wrong" theory. 5
to 10 percent.
Percentage of people who believe that the government intentionally blew
up its own building at a time of the day and week when the maximum
number of Social Security Customers and Day Care babies would be
there. .01 to .1 percent. In other words about 100 to maybe 1000
people in Oklahoma.
I, personally, am in the 70% of people who believe that there is a John
Doe #2 who got away and the government is trying to hide that fact. I
consider the Stupid ATF explosive story to be possible, although I hope
that it is not true. I consider the "Sting Operation gone wrong" to be
highly unlikely. I simply don't think that our investigating agents are
that incompetent.
The "ATF intentionally killed babies" idea to be a belief of someone who
probably got off their medicine and needs another trip to the funny farm
to get stabilized again. Oklahoma has mental care facilities for a few
thousand.
If those of you from Oklahoma think that my range is off, please correct
me.
Dale
How many lives were cost by the second bomb scare, and why? The DEA or Customs
is rumored to have had an inert TOW or LAW missile.

Amen Jerry. Who here doesn't know someone directly affected by the
bomb? I'd be surprised if very many people here don't. I know a EMT
who happened to be OKC that day and helped set up the triages. A
victim who still has glass in his back. And one of the dead.
I agree , I find it most disturbing the people that believe the
stories by what they hear not what they have seen. But people love a
good theory. If you have first-hand knowledge and have seen evidence
in person you may have a point. If your just seeing it on the TV or
the Internet than you really don't know the whole story.
I have seen "Shocking photo Evidence" that was completely wrong. How
many people that believe have seen the site? Believe me, the scars
are still all around downtown. What looks like an abandoned building
in some places, was once a thriving office building. The scariest is
the damage they don't talk about downtown and the people that think
APM was the only building damaged. Ask my father-in-law about his
office branch in downtown OKC. They are several blocks north of the
blast site. It moved a solid oak credenza 12" away from the wall and
took down ceiling tiles.
I learned from my 8th science teacher. "Don't believe anything you
hear and half of what you see." I still believe that thoery.

Monday Morning Quarterbacks abound in this fine country of ours.
Fortunately they are rarely in a position to do any more than make
noise and that's as it should be.
So what is the "whole story"? How do you explain the damage allegedly
caused by an explosive charge in the truck, yards from the building,
which had only a fraction of the 3500 p/si required to collapse
reinforced concrete as used in the Murrah building?
>So what is the "whole story"?
That's something no one person will ever know. This 'story' (as are
so many others) is far too large for any single person to ever
understand it all. It takes a cooperative effort to put the pieces
back together and anytime you get that many different people and their
input there are bound to be glitches and differences of opinion, some
of which may never get explained.

That's another of those questions that can probably never be
accurately answered. How does anyone know the exact destructive force
of the bomb? We don't, and we probably never will. Even Timmy
himself if he was to open his cruddy little mouth and tell us the
details would be able to help us reconstruct a replica with enough
accuracy to know. What we can say for certain is that it was a
powerful bomb and that few if any people who've worked with explosive
devices of that magnitude are surprised at anything that happens in a
blast like that.
ef
Then you didn't read thre New York Times article on the World Trade
Towers bombing, did you? Seems that one of the bombers was an FBI
informant, and asked permission to sabotage the bomb. Permission was
REFUSED, and the bomb went off.
As for Oklahoma, it doesn't matter what kind of a lie is being told;
that we are being lied to at all by our government is totally unacceptible.
By your figures, 90% of the Oklahomans believe they are being lied
to. That's about par with the latest nation wide surveys.
That's tjhe important fact we can all agree on.; the government is
lying about something.

If your numbers are correct, then the people of Oklahoma are

The one thing I see as questionable is your reference to
"the Government". I'm not saying that YOU are the one with
the screwed up opinion, but to believe "The Government" is
some kind of cohesive unit that conspires against us is a
mistkae. Refering to the government like "the Government is
telling the truth" and "The government should have known",
"the government was conducting", "the government
intentionally", and "the government is trying to hide the
fact"...this is misleading and furthers conspiratorial
paranoia. MAY BE someone IN THE GOVERNMENT...MAY BE...

And again what is your source for this information? How do YOU know
what the blast force pressure was? How do YOU know what forces were
needed to collapse the building? You know the whole story do you?
Did I say that I knew the whole story? And last of all, what do you
know about ANFO?
Oh, I forgot Partin told you himself right. Frankly you people just
don't want to believe that it might just be possible that some
militant nut thought he would blow up the APM Federal Bldg to make us
pay for Waco. Thanks, the innocent citizens of Oklahoma appreciate
it. In the mean time, it just got harder for militia types to support
their opinions of freedom. But that is why the gov't blew it up in
the first place right?
So other buildings of a similar construction (date within last 20
years) were so damaged that they had to be razed to the ground?

I don't,you haven't given any evidence. If the Y.M.C.A. and other two

There would be an official report on the damage and a safety violation
recorded.

There are several problems with your statement above. First
the ages of these other buildings may be considerably older and of
older contruction methods and materials. Second we need evidence that
reinforced concrete floors and/or columns in these other 3 buildings
failed. Third we need to know the exact reason for the demolition. The
buildings may have been so old that the collateral damage (not
sructural) cost more to repair than the value of the building.
In the 3rd case above it would make more sense to raze the older
buildings than to repair them.
Now ask yourself one other question. Why was the Murrah building razed
in about 6 weeks after the blast yet these other buildings, alleged by
you to be equally damaged, were not and are still standing?

Granted. I am picking a nit, I believe. But note that it is impossible to know
whether any lives were lost as a result of the bomb scare(s).
Why couldn't they be that incompetent? What you describe is
apparently exactly what happened at the World Trade Center. According
to the trial transcripts, the FBI was supposed to have the explosive
substituted. I'm sure you are aware of the disastrous screw-up
committed by the BATF at Waco, Texas. They constantly barge into the
wrong houses, sometimes stomping pets to death in their quest for the
intimidation factor. The other agencies hate 'em. The only reason
they haven't been sucked into an agency like the FBI is that the FBI
refused to take them. They're called "F Troop" by the other feds.
Oh, hell yes they're VERY incompetent. And they're vicious. Back
during "IRS reform" I heard one guy put it very succinctly: When the
government found out there was an excess in the coyote population a
few years ago in Yellowstone Park, they put out poison. All the
stupid coyotes ate the poison and died, with the result that we now
have very intelligent coyotes. It's similar with IRS agents (and
probably every other agency) as well. The good people leave after
five or six years because they can't stand what they have to do to
their fellow human beings. That leaves us with all the mean, vicious
lying people for the most part. Hell yes, if they thought it would
serve their own interests and fund their agency, they'd set up a sting
operation. Except this time they got double-crossed. That's why
"Angela" and the head ATF guy disappeared for a while. They don't
want to have to answer the tough questions.
As for the stored explosives, there is ample evidence for that. Do
you remember all the bomb scares they had during the rescue
operations? Oh, they told us they were "practice" devices, but anyone
familiar with anything at all knows that practice materials are
labeled with yellow and/or orange. Do you remember that fake elevator
hero rescue story? One of the elevator repairmen was talking to some
feds and he said he overheard a fed talking on a phone. The fed was
yelling, "I was an architect for 11 years. I'm telling you something
else went off inside that building down in the corner."
FWIW, the "reporter" from The Daily Oklahoman is SLEEPING during the
trial. The AP guy may be up in the press room listening, but he's not
in the courtroom.
Explosive forces are quite well known. The experts can tell you how
much and what kind of damage you will get from a given amount of
explosives. The government can't *prove* that it was an ammonium
nitrate/fuel oil bomb. They know the approximate explosive force and
know that sort of explosives fall within that range. A report by FEMA
said it would have taken 12,300 pounds of ANFO to cause that sort of
damage, which doesn't square with the "fact" that we "know" it was an
ANFO bomb. An FBI agent refused during the trial to say that it was
ANFO. Another admitted that a handle from the truck contained pitting
from a high-velocity explosive. ANFO is LOW-velocity. This is stuff
that's coming from the gummint, so are they the conspiracy theorists?
>Explosive forces are quite well known. The experts can tell you how
>much and what kind of damage you will get from a given amount of
>explosives.
This is true, however experts within a given field will often reach
different conclusions even with the same evidence since there are so
many small variables that can make a difference. I work in a field of
forensic science where the evidence is rarely absolute so it's natural
that the conclusions my fellow investigators and I reach are not
always the same.
ef
Yawn... I mentioned it several times ---- the Partin report.
The blast force pressure at distance x from the origin is proportional
to the inverse cube of that distance. The blast pressure at the origin
is given in the Partin report, based on the potential energy of the
explosive's chemical components.
> How do YOU know what forces were
>needed to collapse the building?
Yawn... this is the point of our discussion. According to one poster
that is 30 psi of overpressure. However the WTC clearly contradicts
this.
> You know the whole story do you?
Well, this is rather circular. It was implied by the previous poster
that I didn't know the whole story so I asked for the whole story. He
wrote, in a round about manner, that he didn't know the whole story.
So if you know the whole story then please tell us.

Baloney. I've got the report. You can get the report through FEMA.
This report does not even mention the composition of the bomb. Not
once.
What does the report say?
- That you determine the power of an explosive for these purposes in
its equivalent in TNT.
- That you measure the crater made and the composition of the
materials through which the crater was created
- That you compare those results against test explosions on various
materials in a US Army report TM5-855-1, "Fundamentals of Protective
Design for Conventional Weapons Effects", 1986
- That the best match for the crater size and materials is the
equivalent of 4000 lbs of TNT.
Where does 12,300 lbs come from? Someone probably took some amount of
ANFO converted it to TNT and said that it would take 12,300 lbs of
ANFO to reach the equivalent of 4000 lbs of TNT. I heard J.D. Cash
say this on the Chuck Harder show.
Does it prove that the bomb wasn't merely 4800 lbs of ANFO? Yes. I
don't know of any conversion factor from ANFO to TNT that is high
enough.
Does it matter?
Here's SOME Q & A.
1. Q: Could you fit 4000 lbs of TNT (or the equivalent in other
explosives) into the back of a Ryder truck and drive it down the
street?
A:Yes. The Ryder truck has a legal limit of 5000 lbs and a design
limit of 8000 lbs. So if you have 8000 lbs of explosives and a
conversion rate (overall) to TNT of 50% you've got the equivalent of
4000 lbs of TNT.
2. Q: Was the FBI sloppy in saying that the bomb was 4800 lbs of ANFO,
enough after the crater survey was available and up until just before
the McVeigh trial?
A: Yes.
3. Q: Are the characteristics of the blast similar to that expected of
an AN based explosive?
A: Yes, it was a medium performance high-explosive. The British
expert Linda Jones described in detail, the signs that indicated that
the bomb was ammonium nitrate based.
4. Q: Could McVeigh and other have made such a bomb?
A: Yes, especially considering that we know that McVeigh bought 165
gallons of nitro methane. AN nitromethane is much more powerful than
just ANFO.
5. Q. How much more powerful than ANFO?
A: I don't have the numbers but a lot more powerful.
> An FBI agent refused during the trial to say that it was
>ANFO. Another admitted that a handle from the truck contained pitting

There's some confusion in terms. ANFO is a high explosive like C4,
TNT and other blasting gels. It is not a high performance high
explosive. Low explosives are materials such as black powder.

Well, we'll have to just wait and see if McVeigh "comes
clean" some time in the future. In so many of these cases
(assassinations, accidental deaths, suicides, government
cover-ups, major accidents, spy cases, police actions, etc.
etc.) we can NEVER know ALL the details, so there will
always SOME doubt and controversy. I guess sometimes you
have to rely on a leap of faith...? Of course, different
people will leap in different directions...and different
distances! :)

It's funny that we talk about guilty vs. innocent verdicts
as being so objective...what is "reasonable doubt"?
Witnesses say McVeigh had previously made small ANFO bombs for
shooting off "out in the desert" and that he didn't have much luck.
ANFO is a pretty hard substance to detonate all at once, and it's
stretching credibility to have us believe that anyone could detonate
multiple barrels all at once and have all of it ignite. The stuff has
to go off all at once. Even so, it leaves a heck of a lot of residue.
Was Timothy McVeigh involved? No doubt. Did he make the bomb that
went off inside that truck? Hmmmmm. Was it for sure an ANFO bomb?
Hmmmmm. Can we call him Lee Harvey McVeigh? Looks that way.

Not really. The Government claims that Nichols and McVeigh worked alone
and there is no John Doe 2. The reason that the govt claims this is
that these are the only guys that they can catch and convict. They do
not want it said that they let one of the murderers get away.

In this case the government is the prosecutors in Denver. Isn't the
case called something like "The People versus Terry Nichols". The US
govt has appointed spokesmen for itself on this case. These are the
people I am referring to. And yes I believe that they are lying, but I
do not believe that they intentionally planned the murder of babies.

This is the part of the story where lives where really cost by the error
of a human. That (I don't remember more than one) fake bomb scare did
cost lives.
In answer to the questions in another set of sub threads. We can't KNOW
for sure that the fake bomb scare cost lives. But I talked to some
firemen that were forced to leave at that time, and they claim that they
left people crying for help and never heard them again.
Now this sort of hear-say is not always accurate and is subject to all
the failures of normal gossip. But those firemen believe that the fake
bomb scare cost the lives of the people that they were trying to rescue.
What seems evident and almost undeniable is that some ATF agents
believed that it was possible that there were live explosives left in
the building. So, as much as you and I want to believe that they surely
didn't store confiscated bombs in the building, it seems that there were
some ATF agents who believed it was possible.
But, if this is true (and I hope it isn't), what should we do. We don't
hang people for innocent errors. It still comes down to, Timothy
McVeigh, Terry Nichols and person or persons unknown, intentionally set
off an explosion which killed civilian men, women, and children;
destroyed downtown Oklahoma City; and caused millions of dollars in
property damage.
What if the government failed to defend itself from this threat which it
should have known about. Well, it should have done so, but hindsight is
20/20. After the mea culpa's what do you do?
Frankly, I, for one, am sick of the search for a scape goat.

He was a weirdo who decided to kill a lot of people. Oswald was a
weirdo who decided to kill one person and then decided to kill another
person. He failed on the first and succeeded on the second.

Except this is wrong by the conversion factor above which is 3. So it would require
12,000 lbs of ANFO to equal 4000 lbs of TNT. The Conversion reciprocal is not 50%
but 33 1/3%
So how can we get 12,000 pounds of ANFO in a Ryder Truck with a max load of 5,000
to 8,000?

ANFO is not medium performance, it is a relatively slow burning, low powered

Wrong, ANFO is relatively low powered and slow burning compared to C4
and TNT. In other words the energy released per unit volume is
considerably smaller for ANFO than TNT or blasting gels.

Are we safe in assuming you flunked Sensitivity Training?
I hope this man is being flippant and not serious. Otherwise, his logic
is, at least, horrifying.
He says let the ruination begin and then identifies the ruination as the
killing of men, women, and children. Mr "Billy Beck" are you really
encouraging men to go out and kill babies? Please tell me "no".
This neck of the woods has lost many lives to a crackpot who wallowed in
this kind of disgusting muck. While Okies are populist and libertarian
by nature, we don't suffer the depredations of anarchists gladly. We
call them by the correct name, Murderers.

People from Oklahoma are not subscribing to the nutso conspiracy
theories, althought they are somewhat concerned that some of the guilty
are going free.
I have been watching the different sides of the debate here. From the
way I can see it, every single one of the people advocating the nutso
theories are not from Oklahoma. Almost everyone of the people who were
challenging the theories were from Oklahoma.
Just as I thought, a simple 10 minute visit to the blast site during the
1st two years after the blast put the whole "the bomb wasn't big enough"
stupidity to rest.
One guy posting here actually said that no other buildings in OKC were
destroyed or made uninhabitable by the blast.
There are no expressions of amazement great enough for this. Hundreds
of thousands of people have been there and seen these destroyed
buildings, are we all in on the conspiracy?
I think the point has been adequately displayed. The nutso conspiracy
theories cannot stand up to the simple common sense of Oklahoma.

Yeah, yeah. Well, *I'm* an anarchist, and I am able to draw the
proper distinction between murder and complete principled contempt for
government, even if you, in the prevailing tradition of reeling in
horror from clear thought, are not.
Except it was a couple of dickless yankees that did the act.

Obviously *some* bomb was big enough. Whether it was an ANFO bomb is
another question entirely. If, in fact, the bomb that was claimed to
have made that blast *wasn't* big enough, that in no way disclaims the
existence of a bomb that *was* big enough.

I find it to be self-illusory of you to imply that you are clear-headed,
even as you insult, with your juvenile, vindictive and petty bickerings,
some of the brightest, open-minded folks that I've ever met..
It's clear enough to me that you shouldn't be bothered with the details
concerning the bombing, you'll just keep on believing whomever you're
parroting your words from anyways, so I'd just be throwing pearls before
swine, as it were..

Well, we are not living in a Heinlein novel, or a Heinlein world,
and it strikes me as though you've just gone from quoting
a writer who suggests killing someone for their political beliefs to
making that same suggestion yourself.
You should be more careful. Being clever doesn't make your
suggestion any less of a modestly veiled threat.

No? What do you call the accounts of witnesses who saw McVeigh
and saw him with at least four or five others? How about his interview
with the "patriarch" of Elohim City? Or his interview with Andreas Strassmeir?
Or his closeness with the surviving families who sought to find the
truth?
Or his establishment of the fact that Carol Howe was working
for the BATF, and that she had reported that a group working out
of Elohim City was planning to bomb federal buildings?
Or his establishment of the fact that the FBI, in its investigation,
deliberately ignored eyewitness testimony, and deliberately stayed
away from Strassmeir and his cohorts?

Since you have such a problem with government, why not move to a nice, lawless
third-world country? I'm sure you would be quite free to spout your anarchist

I'm not sure what distinction Mr Beck draws between murder and
"principled contempt". If that distinction makes a difference between
murdering a baby because he cries too loud and murdering a baby because
he is in a building owned by someone you hate then the distinction is not
only worthless by despicable.
Yes, Tarla, men of good will not only should but easily could live in
peace without government. The problem is that there are many men of not
so good will. Men like Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols and other person or
persons unknown (to me).

Have you met David Deming?
Well, I'd say you've missed the point entirely. Re-read the quote.
It says "have no claim" and "should not be defined". It's an opinion.
And, on the surface a quite valid one. Why should one be afforded
protection from a state one does not support. Should I expect a bobby
on my doorstop when I dial 911 complaining of an imminent intruder?
It is a *very* interesting proposal. Whether in a Heinlein novel or
in our world.

This quotation *appears* to be from "Starship Troopers", Heinlein's
worst book in terms of rational philosophy. His later-written "The Moon is
a Harsh Mistress" shows his transformation from the quasi-fascist thinking
above to the antithesis: a reasoned anarcho-capitalist position.

Omagosh. I'm going to have to bring up a point of order in Billy
Boy's defence. Actually being an anarchist has nothing to do with
rampant murder, as many seem to believe. They simply feel that the
best form of government is no government. Billy here seems to
actually have a grasp on that concept. Of course, We The People have
an established government. If we decide We The People no longer want
a government or want a different government, We The People have the
means to change things. If the system fails for We The People, teh We
have the means through the second amendment to enforce our will on an
oppressive regime. But only We The People have the right to use those
means. Billy boy here is NOT We The People. He also seems to have a
strange definition of "clear thought". But he's got the basics of
anarchy down, it would seem.

I would hardly call Billy boy's postings insulting. From the rabidity
of he post, I am no more insulted by him than i would be by a barking
dog.

Bingo. It took me a while to get it through my head. Some people
KNOW what happened despite any evidence to the contrary. They cannot
be swayed by reason. They latch onto their holy writ and ignore all
others. You know you're really getting to them when they start to
rant ;-) Somehow their single piece of information is made more
valuable and valid the louder it is shouted ;-)

That distinction, however, doesn't serve their purpose of
inciting rampant terror at the mere mention of the word.

Fine. You, The People, have no moral authority to assert its
power over *my* life. Here's an illustration of the principle: your
argument would have made a fine defense of slavery in the first half
of the last century. "We The People have established a polity which
holds that black people have no right to their own lives."
You, The People, can do anything you bloody please as long as you
don't coerce *me* with your government.
*That* is the principle and "clear thought" which you have no way
around.

Besides which, I know plenty of anarchists who'd be perfectly happy to take
the State up on it if it ever offered to let them not have to pay taxes to it
or obey its laws in exchange for not being part of its protection racket.
They'd even be willing to obey the State's laws against violent crimes against
persons & property crimes. Just so long as they were allowed to make their
own security arrangements.
I bet Heinlein might've even been willing to go along with that deal when

Listen to the Water Board tape of the blast from across the street. The
cutter charges can be clearly heard several seconds before the main
blast. You don't have to be from Oklahoma to hear it either.
You can also hear a bunch of voices telling people to kill John Lennon.
It's eerie, I'm telling you.

So, Carol, Oklahoma's answer to Tonya Harding, was working for
the BATF, and Millar was working for the FBI. Big deal..
Neither one of them provided any useful answers afterwards,
yet another fact that Ambrose-Pierce ignores, deliberately..

This statement is akin to saying "I'm going to live in your house, but

If that is your "clear thought", then I'd have to say that, to me, it
appears to be neither "clear" nor a particularly wee-considered
thought. The "love it or leave it" is, clearly, improper. "Love it
or work to change it *or* leave it" is a bit more proper I'd say.
Billy, did your dad ever tell you: "As long as you live under my roof
you follow my rules!". Scale it up. Same situation, like it or not.
More like the Demster on PCP... Actually I think he thrives on being replied

ever since nobody would buy his Flt 800 conspiracy.

Conspiracy theorys are the closest thing to perpetual motion machines.
If you refute them with fact they deny your fact,
if you descredit them, you are part of the coverup,
if you do nothing, your part of the "silent majority" that agrees with them.
** Note to Billy Beck go look up the word 'SATIRE' in the dictionary.
We do NOT have any weather control devices, because we can barely
PREDICT the weather and don't fully understand how it works. Fnord.

Again, YOU are quite welcome to find another place to live where the
government or lack of it is more suitable to your tastes. This country
happens to have a government, and if you're opposed to living under its
"tyranny" then you should pack your things and leave.

Nonsense. It's not your "house". You have no more authority

More rubbish. Who do you think you *are*? You're simply shaving
the presumptive goal of your assertion of authority and power. The
fact of the matter is that my life, as well every value which I seek
in order to sustain it, is *mine*. It is not yours to command. I
don't owe you anything beyond the promise to leave to the conduct of
your affairs without my interference. That's it, but it's a
bi-lateral consideration: you owe *me* the same thing. Now, be
*honest* about it, Melton, and admit the principles: you can do
anything you want to do, but you have no right to coerce my agreement,
endorsement, or support. Unless you are completely without regard for
principle - and prefer to make it up as you go along - then you
certainly understand that, for instance, you have no morally
defensible right to force the neighbors on the street where you live
into so much helping you rake the leaves out of your yard. If you
don't have *that* much of a right to the lives of others, then how do
you derive the right to force others into the support of your
government?
You *don't*. Nothing changes when you...
>Scale it up.
Nothing changes, that is, unless you're changing the referent
*principle* along the way as you "scale it up", which would be
dishonest.
And, you're not my dad, so you don't get to pull that shit on me.
Billy
Instead of "your line", you should have said "their own weight".

What qualifies you to determine whether someone pulls their weight, Bill? And
further, are you insinuating that by virtue of being a federal employee that I
do not in some way work hard or pay taxes? If so, you need to do some heavy
reevaluation of the situation, though I doubt any amount of study or thought
would pry open your "steel-trap" mind.

The ironic part of this is that we likely contribute to his salary through the
free market system. If "parasites" like us weren't out there buying products
and services from "upstanding, anarchist citizens" like him, he'd soon be
looking for work. The basic tenets here is, "What goes around, comes around".
I could easily argue that labor union members are parasites guilty of driving
the cost of goods steadily upward, but I'm sure I'd meet with some hefty
flames!
Mike's understanding of economics and the free market system is likely as deep
as the vast pool of knowledge he's demonstrated in most other topics...

Repeat this phrase over and over again to yourself until you remember
and understand it:
"The Civil War was NOT about slavery. It was about state's rights."
The result was that states lost their rights but continue to maintain
many of their responsibilities.
