@scoutdog:

Banned because I can't tell whether to worry more about your indifference to abuse of authority or your (rhetorical) disinterest in romance and associated drama stuff.

But then I still don't get why you regularly type about the fundamental danger presented by our standing military while you ignore the much more immediate dangers to liberty presented by overreaching and/or corrupt cops, local, state, and federal.

Banned for falling out.

Banned because if you mean ducking the question, I think it's just a slight misunderstanding. I never said that the military was a direct threat to American liberty the way overzealous police are. They rarely harm Americans, and even then it's usually other military who happen to be just a bit too moderate/female/near-the-Mujuhadeen for their own good. The military is more a threat to the lives of foreign nationals and the overall stability of the world which is then let run rampant by complacent and idolizing civilians. The military is less like Big Brother and more like a large corporation with expensive PR and some old friends on the regulatory committees- it's not out to dominate the American people, just to expand itself monetarily and keep prying eyes away from the dead natives. (Note that this metaphor breaks down in that the military is driven less by self-interest then by ideology).

EDIT: And if you meant ducking in some other sense, particularly in the sense of a word that could be changed to ducking if performed with a duck, then just plain banned.
