Coffee Room topics today include a defense of torture, proposals for the Church to take over the government and a proposal to build a wall to keep out advancing hoardes. "Let's do the time warp again... |

Why go all the way back to 1048, Steve? Why not just look to the other side of the world and see the Islamic fundamentalist extremists as the mirror image of the Christian fundamentalist extremists here in the US? They all argue the same things, they all seek the same things, they all justify any action no matter how despicable on the same bases -- except ours claim to be Christian and their's claim to be Muslim. |

your hyperbole often strays into the absurd. You should back it off a few settings. |

It appears to be defensible as long as it is done in secret: "the only difference between the past and now is that we used to be able to keep our covert operations secret, and we didn't have as many whining pansies to deal with." |

C'mon Rick, I haven't lopped off a Muslim's head in weeks, and the last time I bombed a disco was last Spring. I'm trying to cut back, you know. |

Again, what torture? Covert operations are not by definition torture. |

This brought to mind a Peter Rowan song: In the Morelos mountains campesinos are planting their fields Where the ghost of Zapata rides a horse that can still outrun the wind There free in the sky and clear out of site It's the free Mexican airforce, flying tonight In the city of angels a cowboy is cooling his heels Remembering that god gave us herbs and the fruits of the fields But a criminal law that makes outlaws of those seeking light made the free Mexican airforce, mescalito riding his white horse yeah the free Mexican airforce is flying tonight flying so high How strange that an innocent herb causes money to burn The day will kill you for making those rich fat cats squirm but the fools who make rules with no difference between wrong or right that's why the free Mexican airforce is flying tonight... Uncle Sam in his misery put a nix on the fields of Guerrero Saying shoot down all gringos and wetbacks that dare wear sombreros Either run for your lives, surrender or stand up and fight Or join the free Mexican airforce, mescalito riding his white horse the free Mexican airforce, flying tonight they're flying so high... (instrumental) Is not Marijuana destroying the minds of the young? The confusion continued for power and greed in all forms May the borders of evil with fall to the smugglers of light Where the free Mexican airforce are flying tonight In San Antonio they tell me that power and money are one They can buy us or sell you to keep you afraid on the run But no-one can stop us, my vision is clearly in sight and the free Mexican airforce, mescalito riding his white horse the free Mexican airforce is flying tonight flying so high... Some are smoking colitas while others are loading their guns blowing smoke from their six shooters, spinning their barrels for fun contrabandistas, banditos alike were the free Mexican airforce who were flying tonight High in the hills we are harvesting sweet sensimillia The law wants it all cos they know that the wild weed can free ya And freedom for us is the prison for the rulers of might That's why the free Mexican airforce is flying tonight The free Mexican airforce, mescalito riding his white horse The free Texican airforce is flying tonight! Thought I'd share it with everyone.
