re: the 9th circuit and the rest, this article seems to be about the over-response, not the instance of provocation. My point was that when someone in california does something that makes one of us mad, the response isn't just toward that one instance, it is always going to be the product of the sum of all we constantly hear from there.
wouldn't you say? Does the current response to, say, the whole White Phospherous thing reflect how people feel about white phospherous, or the whole, long saga of the Bush administration and Iraq?
people seem to understand that in terms of terrorism, or crime, or poverty. It seems plausible that saudis long-oppressed would strike out at the butt of Islamic propaganda, and yet it doesn't make sense that American conservatives, after years of being marginalized as brutish and irrelavant would wish secretly that california would just slide into the ocean?
We've been told that we aren't smart or moral enough even to make out own decisions, courts on the other side of the nation have to do that for us. Resentment? You bet. You give us way too much credit, kingbee. Of course people make statements like this one, right or not, and Oreilly simply acts as a talking head, spouting what people who watch him want to hear.
