  Sorry if calling you “paranoid”. 

Bingo! Thank you for your freely offered confession! Book'em Dan-O.  Your honor, the people ask remand.

While you sit in jail and pay exorbitant fees to a lawyer to spring you I will reiterate my previous reiteration:

You have met and exceeded your quota of ad hominem with me.  When you can maintain a reasonable level of decorum in our conversations we will resume our talks. Not before.

We should refute the info , not the person, ie Dont shoot the messenger. What makes this forum so good is we can attack the subject , not the poster, .  PLEASE UPHOLD THIS .

Point taken.  Apology offered, and previous post removed.

Okay, so what is the problem?

This is what I said:

This Government employee  has been involved in at least (one?) operation where they "killed the children to save them"

Both you and Harris seem to agreed US Marshalls killed Sam Weaver.  Ipso, ergo and therefore Lon Horiuchi was involved in at least one operation where they "killed the children to save them."

I stand vindicated. As always.

You're not married are you .

Reiterate a previous reiteration?  Paranoid and redundant is no way to go through life John.

... Well.. if he is.. she should borrow my gun, knives and rolling pin.. LOL

I have listened to all of this and as usual.. I got confused.  ( what else is new) 

I am considered "paranoid" by some of my friends. Because.( as you all know) I distrust BATF and anything else that the the Government has their nasty little corrupt fingers into.  There isn't any part of them that I would trust as far as I could throw them.
 I don't know much about  the Lon Horuichi  person or the events. I've read a little bit and  I will read more on it.
 Do I think that someday... “You ( and all of us) are exactly one traffic stop, one "code violation", one accounting infraction,one TSA incident  away from discovering this 21st Century Real World  armed with tasers, guns and gulag
Yes.. I do.
I... living and being in a small town in backwoods country America will probably be the last to feel it.. but yes... I believe that if the world keeps going as it is.. we are in for a hell of a fightin' ride.
Paranoid? Probably...
But  I prefer to call myself aware and mentally ready.

Did my statement make any sense to the course of this thread ..or an I still in a state of confused confusion.

M'lette :

What makes sense …

A shot of distrust can add balance.   To this, caution is fine but when one takes it to a constant, slathering distrust of ________ (fill in the blank with appropriate government agency, family, farm animal, etc.) it takes away from the present.  This creates an unhealthy mental state.   

As a side discussion to this thread … I find it interesting if not somewhat comical that there is a fair amount of gun owners that worry about Jan Reno coming through their door and hearing the “snap” of a rubber glove going on her heavy right hand.  Can it happen?  Sure.  Anything can happen but really are the odds that it will?  Tell you what, I will send JohnJ a dozen roses and a box of chocolates if and when Jan gives me an open cavity search. 

Again, worrying about the future is a waste of time.  Sure, be prepared but don’t go off the deep end because the balance you seek will be lost.   Enjoy the moment.  Remember, you are living someone's dream. 

What doesn’t make any sense is that you are a grandmother.  God Lord girl ….  That new picture of you makes you look like you are under thirty! 

[Teresa Heilevang]

hahaha    Under 30..
 god.. don't I wish~~

Intellectualism aside for the moment, Marshal'ette makes it great..to be straight..and my regrets..to them that ain't.

I think the Ruby Ridge thing was a travesty and blatant mis use of the law. Several really bad decisions on both parts created a situation that once started would not stop. Its one of those clashes between people who think they are within the law, and those sure they are enforcing the law. There are many instances like this that are not as widely publicized because the duration is too Short for media to react. Just my .02

You're not married are you .

Depends on what you mean by married. As my FIRST ex actually once said  in a moment of complete flusteration:

"Just because it turned out the way you said it would, does not mean you are right!"

I have GOT to work that into a satire somehow!
