4. Add another Amen to that. It's a valuable resource, too - lots of very knowledge

people who are generous to share what they know.

12. Well, some folks think a request from another DUer infringes on their freedom of speech.

Go fucking figure.

In this thread, note how I, in apparent violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Constitution, infringe on Freedom of Speech by saying: "While we can ALL quibble and criticize damned near anything, including the questions on this survey, let's take time out on this thread and merely register our individual positions as honestly and diligently as we can." It's in response to my post #241 that the Free Speech Police inform me of my egregious violation of "the first amendment."

God forbid ... they'll be knocking on my door and sending me to Gitmo any time now. Well, at least its a warm place to spend the winter. I hate snow.

:hi: Welcome to DU! Watch what you say. The vigilantism is awesome. :rofl:

17. Welcome, Renwiick.

We certainly do a lot of "free speaking" 'round here! It's good to speak freely. Hope we can keep it that way.
