Unk Pervert: That guy misused the forum. It wasn't about him or his views. He needed to shut up. I don't know that the taser was the most efficient, humane method. I'm not trained in such things. But in my definition of Liberty, I have the right to question it and the right to have such questions answered.

How you prevent a police state is by not tolerating even the smallest violations of rights. So I laud the questioning of the procedure used and the motives of those that used it.

The fact that Kerry is a Democrat under a Republican President doesn't imply strong disagreement to me. I view the two parties as "selling" mostly the same crap with some different emphases. No voice which deviates from the two party platforms are permitted.

They did their best to silence both Nader and Buchanan in 2000 - neither of whom I cared for, but they were genuine candidates who should have been allowed to debate with the others.
