I think its served its purpose. Same goes with "purple." The fiftieth time you use those old chestnuts, its clever. The hundredth? Not so much.

But I am proud of you, iverglas. Four declarative sentences in a row. Take a star out of petty cash.

You regard other people's deaths...as the loss of a little temporary safety, I guess.

Sometimes, yes, I do. There are countless examples where I find the essential civil liberties are worth the inevitable cost of some innocent lives, as tragic and jarring as that calculus is. And I'm sure if you were being honest, you could come up with numerous examples of you doing the same thing when it comes to civil liberties you find valuable. But for some reason, I don't see other people on DU accusing *you* of not giving "a flying fuck" whether someone dies. Why do you suppose that is?
