		<description>Oh and by the way, the government has been encroaching on a citizen&#039;s privacy, rights and possessions since George Washington was sanding his wooden teeth.

I&#039;m sure you already know that and Barack Obama or Sarah Palin ain&#039;t gonna change any of that.</description>

		<description>Wish I could tell you who it was RW but I just did not know the guy. He may be a regular on the show. He was discussing the point with Lawrence O&#039;Donnell.

Like I said, about 5 minutes of it was all I got. Scarfed down my protein drink and headed for work.</description>

		<description>9 times out of ten I&#039;d be on board with that sentiment.  In today&#039;s age of Islamic terrorism and radical states that hate our guts getting close to nukes....I&#039;m more inclined to listen to the intel (taking into account that there&#039;d better be concrete proof since I&#039;ve already seen what &quot;trust me, we have the intelligence&quot; can lead to) than brush it aside.  Plus, I&#039;m assuming that there are &quot;millions&quot; around Israel, since that&#039;d be the #1 target.

Besides, the Messiah is in charge, there&#039;s no way the government is going to encroach on a citizen&#039;s privacy, rights or possessions.  I read it on the internet.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m also reminded GB Shaw quote... Ends with &quot;we&#039;ve already established what you are, ma&#039;am. Now we&#039;re just haggling over the price.&quot;

&quot;Millions of lives&quot; is a foot in the door to justify something else.</description>

		<description>Yeah - I understand. I&#039;m just saying that synopses of this type are invariably smoke &amp; mirrors.  It&#039;s like a kid who can&#039;t have candy coming up with increasingly unlikely scenarios until they get to one like, &quot;well, if I get all A&#039;s on my report card AND I do plastic surgery on Daddy to get rid of that weird mark on his forehead AND I hit a hundred home runs at the next little league game AND I say please, THEN I really should get candy!&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;He doesn’t have a plan for saving any lives – he wants an excuse to break the law:&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Then that would fall under my &quot;you don&#039;t break the law in order to foment your political agenda&quot; part, above.  I only had Buck&#039;s &quot;if the CIA is working on a project that will save millions of lives then they should not be hindered by having to follow the law&quot; synopsis to go by. 

I wonder who the guy was, since Joe &amp; Mika were off &amp; I only saw a cast of liberals and/or Jack Welch&#039;s non-political wife during the 15 or so minutes I watched.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If I could hop in a time machine, I’d go back and commit rape, murder, kidnapping and even return a book late to the library if it meant getting rid of Hitler &amp; saving the lives of 6 million Jews.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Me, too.  But obviously, neither of us can get in a time machine, and even if we could, it would be near impossible for us to figure out exactly what had to be done to avoid the holocaust.  And, if we did, and it was against the law but we were capable of it and not capable of changing the law... then yeah... 

But the guy who says he wants to break the law to save &quot;millions of lives&quot; is full of shit.  He doesn&#039;t have a plan for saving any lives - he wants an excuse to break the law: for himself, for his buddy or cousin, for some favored political operative, or for some kind of pseudo-intellectual talking point that he is fond of.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Some guy was saying that if the CIA is working on a project that will save millions of lives then they should not be hindered by having to follow the law. Or something like that.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Dude, if committing murder would save millions of lives, I&#039;d accept the fact that I&#039;d be breaking the law (and pay the consequences) and go ahead and kill someone.

MILLIONS of lives, bubba.  Millions.  If I could hop in a time machine, I&#039;d go back and commit rape, murder, kidnapping and even return a book late to the library if it meant getting rid of Hitler &amp; saving the lives of 6 million Jews.

I understand the &quot;you don&#039;t break the law in order to foment your political agenda&quot; argument and I&#039;m all for it &amp; if Bush or someone else broke the law then they should pay the piper, but......millions of lives?  What kind of person would NOT break the law to save millions of lives?

&lt;blockquote&gt;Hell, I rarely watch any of that stuff anymore. Even things like Meet the Press that I used to think were required viewing have become unwatchable to me.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I don&#039;t recall the last YEAR I watched any those Sunday shows.  The mainstream media, as we once knew it, is dying a slow and deserved death.</description>

		<description>I saw about 5 minutes of Morning Joe this morning. Some guy was saying that if the CIA is working on a project that will save millions of lives then they should not be hindered by having to follow the law. Or something like that.

I rarely watch morning television anymore.

I know now why a huge portion of the population just tunes out. I am fast becoming a part of that portion.</description>
