You didn't know about that? Ron Paul wants to issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal to go after terrorists.
Shouldn't they be IMs, emails, or maybe even blogs of Marque and Reprisal?

You never really realize how rampant this lunacy is until it hits close to home.
One of my friends did the same a few weeks back, apparently because Paul is an advocate for breastfeeding and supports the sale of unpasteurized milk. It's a shame; she was a good person.

My condolences on your loss.
Seriously, I just spent three hours on IMs trying to reason with this person.
You think you know someone and then *WHAM* Now I know how a homophobic feels when he finds out his kids are gay.

it's more like having your family suddenly become "born again" when you're an atheist, i think.

actually, to be technical, Ron Paul is advocating ending piracy. the Letters of Marque and Reprisals he proposed to give out were to take back "pirated" planes and to sanction the elimination by any means those on the terrorist wanted list. if this were still the golden age of piracy, he'd basically be issuing letters for captains to recapture ships known to have been taken by pirates and to capture or execute the thievin' dogs what took them from the guv'ment in the firs place.
not as fun, by far.
