RC>> A bank robber has no business calling a shoplifter a thief.. :)

 ml> why not? can they not call a spade a spade when it is the truth?

 RC> Not without coming off like a hypocrite.

i don't know why not... the robber isn't the one under scrutiny... the
shoplifter is and he is a thief... sure, the bank robber is too but that's
beside the point...

[trim]

 ml> i've yet to see any reason for anyone to judge anyone as harshly as
 ml> folk have judged wayne and others like him... no one is above anyone
 ml> else and for those who think that they are does nothing but place them
 ml> more into the spotlight of impurity...

 RC> The problem here Mark, is you seem to think that everyone decided
 RC> to get up one day and pick on poor poor Wayne, or that is was
 RC> pre-ordained. 

no i don't... maybe you and others forget that i have at least a years
worth of messages in many echos... some are set to retain for 2 or more
years... i've seen much of it except what when on in those areas i didn't
carry but i saw the overflow... i'm just trying to figure out which side is
N.Korea and which is S.Korea... two wrongs don't make a right, three lefts
is going too far around the elbow to get to the ass, and no one has yet
figured out how to stop it all by just walking away... some, it seems,
don't want to stop... they want to keep their li'l hegmony going and try to
remain on their little throne of rocks and sticks... it will come back to
bite them on the ass one day... it always does... mother nature is funny
like that, ya know?

 RC> You do not see the fact that Wayne brought it all on himself by
 RC> openning too many doors too wide and that he has as much blame to
 RC> shoulder as those of us you condemn, do you honestly think he was
 RC> the only cat not kicking the litter out of the box?

i know he wasn't and i'm sitting here watching all the others doing the
same thing just as they have since it started...

 RC> Thats ok Mark, nothing is ever Waynes fault.

i disagree... both sides are at fault...

 RC> Go look back in this echo, and find his messages where he drags up
 RC> that Iraq war out of the blue and context, then hand him that gold
 RC> halo.

sorry, i don't hand out halos ;)
