From xForums, “the last bastion of intelligent discussion”, via Daily Kos:
That sucks and the guy deserves money but it’s really not the guards fault his spine is made out of paper mache.
If America were Iraq what would it be?, Juan Cole (Informed Comment, 22 September 2004).
What if, from time to time, the US Army besieged Virginia Beach, killing hundreds of armed members of the Christian Soldiers? What if entire platoons of the Christian Soldiers militia holed up in Arlington National Cemetery, and were bombarded by US Air Force warplanes daily, destroying thousands of graves and even pulverizing the Vietnam Memorial over on the Mall? What if the National Council of Churches had to call for a popular march of thousands of believers to converge on the National Cathedral to stop the US Army from demolishing it to get at a rogue band of the Timothy McVeigh Memorial Brigades?
Imagine having a papier mâchè spine…
