My answer is "HELL" NO"!

Comment comment by smcbride on 28 April 2008

What ever happened to common sense and respect? If I see one being displayed in poor taste, I will extended my 1st amendment right in the form of a t-shirt removal exercise. If that fallen soldier died in my defense, I hope the hell as a true American, I can have the courage to come to that fallen soldiers aid.

This way the courts can make two decisions for the price of one!

RE: My answer is "HELL" NO"! by anthonyanthony :: NR4

What ever happened to common sense and respect?

1) I think the notion of "common sense" is a myth.

2) However, the idea of common sense, whereby there is a shared, mutually understood decorum by which persons conduct their selves is valid. And your comment led me back to something I (surprisingly) heard on TV (by whom and on which station, I can not remember): People are unable to govern themselves. This is not a new concept by any means. Some say that it is for that exact purpose that the Electoral College was instituted: to buffer the will of the people.

My point is that scenarios, like the one described above, call into question the abilities of some to govern themselves.

Also, this scenario elicits some question a) how do people have order without government? and b) how quickly can I set up a Cafe Press account?
