FBI broke law for years in phone record searches

Mike, Pat,

That is the real point, we need to lose this irrational fear. We kill more people in a year texting while driving than the terrorists have, should we have a war on texters?

Declaring war elevates them above the common criminals that they are, that they do not deserve. Perhaps my solution sounded brutal, is it any more brutal than the twin towers? Were all the people in there guilty? As you wrote, war sucks (Glad you are safe home and I hope the scars are not too deep). We did not ask for 9/11, hey maybe some oil companies did bad things over there, the world trade center is not Exxon HQ AFAIK.

So you know where I am coming from it is quite simple, I mind my own business, try to help those less fortunate, and lead a quiet retirement.

However as I told one man "If you mess with me you will live to regret it one day. If you mess with my wife, you may live to regret it, much depends on what sort of mood I am in." Way back Florence was managing a large dress shop, working up to 120 hour weeks.
One day after we were married, she asked me what I thought about her job, I told her to tell the Regional Manager shove it, so she quit. Well this a**hole manager started bad mouthing her publically (her employees loved her and kept us informed) and to make a long story short, he was demoted, had to sell the house he just bought because they moved him out of the territory. All I had offered to do was horsewhip him at high noon in the mall. The threat of legal action (he was an employee of the company) may have had summat to do with it.

So I have no feelings of kindness toward these people who harmed us for no real reason, only their warped minds. The women are just as bad, they hide quite a lot of explosive under those burkas, and they raise the children with this same warped outlook. Innocents? I hardly think so.

I lived through WW II, the so called police action in Korea and watched Vietnam from Canada as I did not come here until 1984. I have never visited the Memorial as they probably would not like to see a grown man cry, as far as my heart tells me they were all my sons and daughters. I can't watch the NewsHour when the show tha faces of the fallen without tears, Dear God, many of them had not even had a chance to live, still in their teens. I am supposed to forgive those that are responsible? I don't think so, forgive me Lord but that asks too much.
