    But, if your contention is that those with voting rights voted themselves individual rights and freedom, yep, that's how it works.

    And then they gradually voted in more and more government power to protect themselves from the people who had no voting rights.

    Expanded voting rights had nothing to do with with the end of slavery.

    The expansion of government has accelerated every time franchise has been extended to more people, some of the old limits on voting were less than perfect but they should have been replaced with better ones and others should have remained.

    Your sarcasm turned out to be rather accurate.

    Yet another guidelines violation.

    You accuse me of trying to get you banned, but you appear to be trying very hard to get yourself banned.

    Just what would that be?

    You ask what, as though you're ignorant of the rules, then put your finger right on it.

    So, I didn't know you were on the west coast. You really do have the cubicle next to Zippy's, don't you?

    You also offer no proof that you changed it to his original statement. You only prove you did change his quote.
    Look at the time stamps dummy, I posted with the quote feature 2 minutes before he edited his comment and you came along 4 minutes after and made a fool of yourself.

    Or is this a coordinated attack on me?

    It is a stupid one if it is because I would have no reason to add the word "dark".

    I did double check the time stamps. That's how I learned you just might be a Californian.

    So how's the weather on the Left Coast?

    We can't get you banned.

    And you don't seem to need any help with that. If it were possible for you to be banned, you'd have done yourself in long ago. I know playing the victim card is all the rage out there on the west coast, but everyone can see you do the victimizing around here.

    So how is the weather on the Left Coast? The Pacific keeping you warm this evening? Happy or sad the Rams got beat?
