My how literal we are!
Of course there's no danger of everyone going blind (That's only if you masturbate). Just very, very, um... what's that other one? Oh, yeah, dead.

welles, no, hardly any people murder, so if we went "eye for an eye" with all the murderers, that wouldn't kill off everybody, just the few murderers. The other 99.99% of the population would be unaffected. If in the example above, the US only strikes back after it's attacked, the world won't all end up dead, most will be unaffected. Gandhi's statement has no value on serious crimes, which are rare enough not to be widespread, it has merit on forgiving minor wrongs others do to you though.

Haha! The Republicans were masters of lies, deceipt, smear tactics and bending half-truths to great effect. The '88 Bush campaigners were brilliant........but I think Karl Rove outshone them all. He convinced a whinnying America to re-elect an imbecile in 2004!

"rescue mission in Grenada"

Hahaha! Haven't heard that one in a while. Methinks "war of aggression to overthrow government of smallest independent nation in the Caribbean, not sanctioned by the UN or most U.S. allies" would be more accurate...

"Michael has opposed virtually every defense system..."

That's an attack ad? It should make people want to vote for him.
