Yes, the 5th specifically allows exemptions for war and other emergencies. But almost 2 years? And they were released without being charged.

Charges?? Levy, who the fuck brings charges against POWs?? I'll tell you who, and in big letters so it will penetrate the milky fog that makes up the bulk of your understanding of this matter: NOFUCKINGBODY CHARGES POWs WITH LAWBREAKING. EVER. Not within any credible body of law. North Vietnam tried it, to universal sniggering and disparagement. Also to zero prosecution. It wasn't good enough even for a Communist show trial; it failed to clear even a bar that lowly set.

I am, of course, begging the question of whether these are POWs within the letter of the law -- they are getting POW treatment as a matter of policy, and that seems to me right.

No, it's not remotely as bad as Stupid White Men would have it: after all, I, a reasonably bright white male, am bright enough never to buy any product Michael Moore has ever put out, and am unlikely ever to become stupid enough to do so in the future. If I were as stupid is Moore would have me be, I might have bought a ticket to his most recent movie.

Too bad, Michael. Now go on a fucking diet and learn to dress like you did it in a lit room.

I would like to announce that Michael Moore is fat, and doesn't dress well.

And these and other things are to his shame -- but then, somebody whose primary visible motivation is resentment sends up red flags. Resentment is against-motivation; what the hell do you have for a for-motivation? That's always the test I have for somebody's evident philosophy of life.

This is the fundamental reason I keep clashing and throwing sparks with Marichiko and TW. From what I see, it is their resentments that drive them.

And from a calm clear-thinking non-judgemental individual like you this is of course the most damning accusation of all.

Too easy with the web, though I did remember the former from my youth.

Truer words were never spoken. I am, after all, urbane. Those two's damnation is of their own making. They could do better; yet they will not.

I'm pleased to see that sufficiently stimulating you with a 2x4 between the eyes is producing well crafted thinking at last. Guess I'm getting the wrist technique properly down.

Guess if I'm smiling, Rich.

You're wrist technique is lovely.....but you really should be doing that in private.

You are wrist technique is.... ??? Jesus Hexametrous Christ, Bruce! You can write better English than that!

. . .but you really should be doing that in private.

If you don't want to see me spooge right into BS'er Rich's eye, for his sins, you're at liberty to turn your back. I'll still have as much fun, but I'm under no illusions as to how riveting the spectacle might be. Rather a train wreck -- and isn't the Anna Nicole Show still on in syndication?
