"Wrong you said... "cage, not wall... you: locked in... I'll visit, take a gander, toss you treats"

And just before that...

Context, Bruce. A cage is being built, once you're in it, I'll visit, toss you treats.

"But I'm not locked in anything or anyplace."

You will be.

"Now you sound like tw. 'You're not smart enough to understand'"

I can live with that, and, you're not.

"why the fuck do you think those laws got passed in the first place?"

Bastids did bad things, opportunists saw the chance to put everyone under thumb instead of just punishing the bastids.

Anecdote: a friend of mine in NY works for an engineering firm. She relayed this to me...

For a long time: everyone had unfettered net access. One guy abused it, surfed for porn. I.T. caught him. What shoulda happened: he gets punished, everyone else is left alone. What did happen: everyone lost net access.

Folks like you say the good must suffer for the bad. Folks like me say punish the guilty and leave the rest alone.

You say: guilty till proven innocent.

I say: innocent till proven guilty.

Anyway: enough. We don't see eye to eye. You, keep workin' for what I see as shackles and muzzles, and I'll keep workin' for what you see as destructive anarchy.

'nuff said.
