I am Defecting

Me too. And a special mention goes to Hawerchuk, This is turning into a contest of the Least Offensive Sabre. That's not the same as the Favorite Sabre. Perreault. Not happening, LOL.

It's amazing. We're on the threshold of nuclear fusion. Atom thick membranes are being developed to isolate salt from seawater. The power of the Sun, Wind, and Water are being harnessed on a mass scale. What are the dangers? What is the potential... of Science?

Emelin NOT suspended. NHL NOT with the times.

Griffis AFB is on alert, just in case this turns into more than a hockey game. Looks like Air Force brought a couple of ol' buddies out of mothballs, just for this occasion. North American F-86 Sabre North American F-100 SuperSabre Get ready to Go Sabres!

Our naval fleet is now passing through Eisenhower Lock, in Massena, NY. The mules are impatient. Still, we're within striking distance.

Thanks, OP. Those were impressionable young years for this future grandpa. I came away with the feeling that the Sabres are rad.

Low bridge, everybody down. Low bridge, for we're coming to a town.

Come on Sabres! Let's win this in regulation.

I don't want Kaleta to die on the ice. What's the backup plan? I'm saying he should go to every school in the area and teach floor hockey, and we'll get our kicks para-sailing on Lake Erie, and snowmobiling across the lake on paddle-tracked snowmobiles. It's getting near the end, and we need to take action, imo. He's definitely our home-town boy, and he is our responsibility as well.

With all due respect to Perreult and our 11, on HF's epitaph, I would write: Sought Fame and Fortune, at the Expense of Honesty. Perreault Avatar. Like Pegula. R.I.P.

There's a good case to be made that Hopeful Future is a pathological liar. That gives me mixed feelings. Feel free to make your own diagnosis. I'm not a doctor, but I play one on the internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_lying.

You certainly do have an interesting life.

I think you're imagining things. You need to respect African Americans as human beings, as equals, and everything will be OK. Put the gun down.

Honestly, HF, I don't know why I bother. "The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party -- and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect His purpose. I am almost ready to say that this is probably true -- that God wills this contest, and wills that it shall not end yet. By his mere great power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either saved or destroyed the Union without a human contest. Yet the contest began. And, having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds." Lincoln, September 1862.

Abraham Lincoln said that?! You certainly know how to stir the pot. It's absurdly funny.

This is Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. He is quoting Psalms 19:9. John Wilkes Booth was in the audience. It's a nice reference HF, but Lincoln's sentiment seems contrary to your arguments about the moral primacy of individual choice. I'm not sure what point you were tying to make.

The underlying motive for the rioting in Ferguson is revenge. There have been concessions, but there has not been revenge. There's been no revenge for slavery. There's been no revenge for discrimination. There's been no revenge for inequality. There have been concessions, on what should have been an equal footing all along. Martin Luther King Jr. is dead. Murdered. Shall we overcome? Obama is just a President, but is also symbolic. If you can show some respect, and not assassinate his character, that might just give the disenfranchised hope, and a positive alternative to burning this ###### down.

I don't have patience for this, Mr. Quick Wits. May your Grandma's health be also well..

Oh, you're right. My Grandma is more interesting.

Bring on the Constitution, HF. Every time you waver from the Constitution itself, I will attack you.

HF, you don't vote for eligible candidates. You've told us many times, you're not Republican, or Democrat. You don't work within the system. That's not a strong argument for change.

Stand back, everyone, please, because it's not fair if more than one are dueling. I'm making a cup of coffee. Check back in the morning.

If it's just quick wits, that should be fun. Take your hand out of your ass.

Talk about the Constitution.

Move to Tennessee already. I already know where you live in North Tonawanda, Mr. Breadcrumbs. Let's debate.
