Pete, there is no need to hit 3000. I make fun of Steve every month anyway.

aren040 wrote:Not a chance there Steve. Plus, whether I post or not doesn't make a difference in your run to 3000.

Get an iPhone and just post with the phone.

aren040 wrote:Yes, you can. But as George Carlin said:

Rights aren't rights if someone can take 'em away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of temporary privileges, and if you read the news even badly you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter and shorter.

Sooner or later, the people in this country are going to realize the government does not give a fuck about them. Government doesn't care about you or your children or your rights or your welfare or your safety. It simply doesn't give a fuck about you. It's interested in its own power--that's the only thing--keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.

Personally, when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true. I think either we have unlimited rights or we have no rights at all. Personally, I lean toward unlimited rights. I feel, for instance, I have the right to do anything I please. But, if I do something you don't like like, I think you have the right to kill me. So where you gonna find a fairer fuckin' deal than that? So the next time some asshole says to you, "I have a right to my opinion," you say "Oh yeah, well I have a right to my opinion, and my opinion is you have no right to your opinion." Then shoot the fuck and walk away.

--George Carlin, the closing words of his 14th and final HBO special, 2008's It's Bad For Ya!

It is kind of sad that he passed away and that the world will never get more of this great material.

Steve I made the important part in bold for you since you don't like to read.
