"Offend"? Maybe. As I suggested above, I don't think they should be doing it. But I guess I don't see it as likely to intimidate, absent additional facts.

95% of what i post here is total horseshit- but the next bit I truly believe: your above post is sad. think about what you're saying.

without them we'd have no Guernica. without guernica can we safely say I'd still have become the "most beloved" poster? Probably.

That I disapprove but am not "offended"? Or that I think it's possible but not certain that people would be intimidated?

Your priorities are certainly clear enough.

how come those booths have the curtains? government eccess? how many Jewish or muslin kids will be offended by an Xmas tree in class. damn few- still the risk that one might does justify keeping it out. maybe one person would be intimidated?

There is a better way, you know.

The cult of victimology and giving oneself over to the forces of Islamofacist hate?

The kind that come in the little box with the straw stuck on the side? Is that the one that you would pair with the McRib sandwich, or am I thinking of one of your Washington state boxed sparkling roses?

The irony is, CA is so consumed with seeking to regain its past glory back from the PacNW, it doesn't even see CT coming, and it will be too late before it does. But, hey, the proles need wine, albeit boxed, too.

Are you under the misapprehension that I support what you described?

I think we can all agree that Stalin's Russia was no bed of roses either. Since y'all are opposed to ever appeasing terrorists, I take you think we should have gone to war with the USSR in 1939?

I think we should have kept going in 45, all the way east until we hit Peking.

eta: it's a shame that Roosevelt lied to the country about his intentions on getting into the war. probably led to a pourly planned strategy and the eventual capitulation to the forces of communism at Yalta. Another successful fuck up for the Dems.

If I were investing in CT's wine industry -- and let's just make clear that I'm not -- I don't think I would be aiming to produce boxed wine aimed at the prole market, no matter how tasty you think it is.

Why would you have waited until 1945? I gather you think it's OK to support repressive mass-murdering thugs just so long as you stop after several years?

Yes.

I'm glad that's cleared up.

eta: Hat trick! w00t!

I'm sad that they don't let me take my dogs in to the voting booth with me. We always walk to the polling place in our neighborhood and they used to be able to come into the booth with me. Someone complained a few years ago, though, so the dogs have to stay outside tied to a tree while I vote. I valued their imput.
