  1. Lao-Tse has some wonderful quotes. .some even applicable to the 2A issue: ."The more restrictive the laws, the poorer the people. The more the laws are in evidence, the more do thieves and robbers abound."

    He was very wise. . .

  2. Hey X,

    Very well done. A heck of a lot more sophisticated than I would have been.

    My reply would have been along the lines of "Ya'll can just kiss my fat white A** from now on"

    But again, you are a much better man than I am.

    Considering how far back organized Chinese culture goes, it is little wonder that they've had time to distill a lot of wisdom into a few well-placed sentences.

I reserve the right to not publish ignorant ill-informed and filthy comments from vile cretins who have a four letter vocabulary. Further, anonymous comments with strong opinions and personal attacks may be rejected. If you want to voice a strong opinion, at least have the courage to sign your name to it. You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.
