Gimme a break!

I see your lips moving but your not saying anything. Another trick learned from Zero?

If we ask them not to, will they promise to stop?
 
Alias, I'm starting to think you have a crush on me...sorry, boss, I'm taken!

I see you typing but it's still back to Zero. Why, you have some sort of repressed fixation with this Zero person?

None of them are protecting my freedom. Iraq has not attacked Australia. Nor has Iraq attacked the USA.

"strident" might be better than "blind"...he means well, but I think his enthusiasm takes away perspective. I happen tothink all politics is mostly lies, personally. Follow the money...
 
Quite often it is 'all about money', but I'm not so sure that's completely amoral. 10,000 years ago we might have said, "Yeah, it's all about food."
 
On the other hand, how can we claim to know facts or motivations about anything, when there is so much money involved?
