so lets put this one to a poll.

 

[Henry Bowman]

I vote: maybe.

Edited to add: Ironically, now that an actual poll is posted, my original blind reply still applies.

 

[R.H. Lee]

Please filter out those who live in a fantasyland governed by Celtic (or other) mythology. Thanks!

 

[fjolnirsson]

Please filter out those who live in a fantasyland governed by Celtic (or other) mythology.

But, that would leave me out...
Therefore, I reject your reality, and substitute my own....

Spiff,

Funny poll

Funnier is the fact that these keyboard "patriots" won't do anything. They strut around, slapping each other on the back about how brave they'll be when the time comes.

But they won't do it. They've been talking about how it's "almost time" for decades. Nothing ever comes of it.

Oh, about 10 years ago, they got some attention when Clinton unfairly linked them to Oklahoma City. People were a little scared of them then ... just a little. But that was 10 years ago. No one thinks about them any longer, and they're left to talk among themselves.

50 years from now, 100 years from now, they'll still be engaging in empty fantasies about how "it's almost time."

It's always "almost time" with them.

It always will be.

Where's the choice for 'I don't care how repressive it gets, I just hope they won't hurt me 'cause I'll do whatever they say'?

 

[spacemanspiff]

yeah, i also forgot to put in an option of "i'm going to *pretend* to comply and be a 'good citizen' and then when they least expect it: WHAMMO!"

 

[R.H. Lee]

Spiff, stop the keyboard commando chest thumping. You're not gonna do anything.

 

[spacemanspiff]

yeah, my weekend duty was up anyways. i'll be back in three weeks for my next obligatory tough speeches. for now, its back to being a PAB.

 

[Michigander]

spiff, you forgot one option:

the line has been crossed and I'm on the side of those crossing it!

 

[deanf]

There are lots of lines. What line?

 

[carebear]

I'm gonna finger spiff to the UN; then, while they're ramming the armored car through his front wall, I'm flying to my little island hideaway in French Polynesia.....

 

[spacemanspiff]

hold your horses, cowboy! you know its only gonna take a day of them withholding food to get me to blab about your whereabouts.


besides, you havent heard my master plan: i'll accept the 'machine' and learn to 'understand' its objectives. once i've earned the machines trust, and 'proven' my allegiance to it, thats when i'll pull the rug out from under the 'machines' feet and break its heart by revealing my true self. the 'machine' will sulk away, and fall into a deep depression because theres a space in its heart where i used to occupy.
the 'machine' will then buy a gun at the first gunshow since they'd been reinstated after the machines fall, and blow its brains out. an artist will discover the remains and will label it his latest masterpiece.


hey, where'd everyone go?

 

[71Commander]

Hey! Sorry about getting to the poll late but was in the back digging a big hole.

 

[R.H. Lee]

Be sure to let me know when it's time. I don't want to go to a nursing home anyway.............

 

[Bear Gulch]

I'd tell you how I voted but I am busy shoveling!
