"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
"It's no secret that the great American pastime is no longer baseball. Now it's sanctimony." -- Guy Periwinkle, The Nix.

"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon
If this goes through, the idiocy apparently begins at the top:
The sit-down between Chiarelli and Carroll started off normally enough. They talked about the team, and then about head trauma. Chiarelli, who commanded the American forces in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom II, talked about the brain injuries he had seen there. But Chiarelli's mention of Iraq sent Carroll in another direction: He wanted to know if the September 11 attacks had been planned or faked by the United States government.
In particular, Carroll wanted to know whether the attack on the Pentagon had really happened. Chiarelli—who was the top-ranking Army official inside the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into its western side—explained that it had. He said he had lost many colleagues. But Carroll didn't stop there. He ran through the whole 9/11 truther litany.
"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
"You are an intemperate, unscientific poster who makes light of very serious matters.”

That stuff drives me nuts. The government has done plenty of crappy stuff over the years but this whole 9/11 truther stuff is so ridiculous and absurd that it beggars belief. It's a good thing Carroll coaches football because his brain apparently isn't up to much use otherwise.
These are obviously some tough issues, but I am grateful that my friends can discuss it in calm, rational, and respectful ways.
Bonus that the two harshest comments are from our EQ President and recent RM son of Stake Pres.

As one required to stand while the National Anthem is played, I find great meaning in the practice. At the same time, my stomach is turned at the prospect that anyone should be coerced to do the same. Am I saddened when people disrespect the flag? Sure. But not to such a degree that I am harmed by it in any way.

Somebody is being coerced?

Clark's friends seem to want to coerce people to stand.
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Via praying for bad things to happen to them?
