We both know it would have spun out of control, had the shoe been on the other foot.

It's not the norm, but it may well be lethal.

Here's a story:

One of the main reasons I posted.

When I first posted, the information about this guy being a conspiracy freak wasn't widely published, if at all. I was wondering more about whether the police who tasered him were college security, or regular police, and also the whole "why is he so weirded out when he's going with the Kerry program?" bit.

I'll save my other remark - free speech, don't you know?
