Re: Marine killed in his own home

Karl,
I have to tell you, you've been arguing both sides (and all sides, and God
knows what sides) of posts for as long as I've known you, but especially
this week. I love you, buddy, but you're not always the easiest list-mate,
and this week you've been especially onerous. We put up with you, but you
should know that you're a burr in the saddle on the best of days, and a real
a$$ on the worst of days. Bruce over-reacted earlier this week, but he had
cause. This has not been your best week.

**I still have no idea what you mean, but ok.  I keep trying clarify what I
am saying and I fail.  I am tempted to give up because apparently I suck at
it.

I've been consistent in my discussion of this case (and cases like it). I
believe in homeowner's rights, the right to bear arms, the right to self
defense. I've taken a stand, and if that means that I die with 71 holes in
me, at least there won't be any question of where I stood on the issue. I
have no clue where you stand because you keep moving and calling it 'logic
and reason.'

***that is not true at all.  I have made my position very clear.

 It would be easier to have a conversation if you'd pick a stance and stick
to it. "You'll all wrong (and you're all right)" isn't a stance, it's a
contrarian reaction. (As a closet contrarian myself, I know whereof I
speak.)

***I did make a stance.  Several times.  

I don't expect you to change (although that would be nice). I do expect you
to at least think about what I've written here with the hope that maybe
you'll ask God if there's any truth to it at all, and perhaps bend the knee
to Him, if you won't to the rest of us, your friends, your debate opponents
and allies.

And if this sounds overly arrogant and terribly unpolitically correct of me,
well. I'm a little tired of seeing my friends threaten to leave the list
because you're too stubborn to rein in your bulldog tendencies and won't
ever admit you're wrong about any freaking thing. It gets old.

***you have described how I feel about several other people here.  And I
have often noted when I was wrong and apologized and will do so.  I
appreciate your intention here.
