I read that thread! Thankyouverymuch **BryanEkers**! :mad: I lived in blissful ignorance before. Oh my fucking God. Why are you all being so _nice_! That thread was like watching people talking to a wall! Define criminal. Blah, blah, division, John Adams. Define Federal. Blah, blah, offering, John Adams. Except with a lot more words. That didn’t make ANY fucking sense. I think I might know what he was trying to say, but only through the filter of other comments. I’d read his posts, read the responses, then go back and try again. Actually, I’m not certain I do know. **Human Action** , among others, deserves praise for patiently trying to sift through the muck. At the end, I think **Josf** was even just re-posting entire posts from the beginning. I’m not convinced he’s loony. CT nutbread whack job witnessing weirdo, yes, but not mentally disturbed beyond that. A lot of what he was doing fits in with the Freemen stuff: obsession with corporations, slavery, division, capitalization. So, as far as I’m concerned he doesn’t get a pass for being mentally unfit. He just couldn’t be arsed to say anything other than the handful of things in his deck of quotes. My vote is jackass. I’m only surprised that he didn’t get pitted sooner and that the thread lasted that long. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > IT’S FUCKING FUTILE, YOU TRAITOROUS ASSHOLE. Prithee, what do Canadians know from treason? Even when you gained your independence, as it is, you asked politely for it. “We are a big country now, so if you don’t mind, may we have a go of it alone? We shan’t be a bother, and if you ever need us, like for a war, all you’ll have to do is ask and we’ll be there.” Now, WE know how to do it. Guns, snarky books by Thomas Paine, and lots of cartoons making fun of George III. We even used the French, _ **then got rid of them** _. That’s how you become independent. ---
