It seems that she was selling Chow dogs and his page came up on a geocities

Nazi's would have pronouned their true intentions.  Hitler's intentions, in

  I bought one of the break-barrel Chinese pistols for about $30-40.  It is

assistant: It looks like his point went right by you.  The point being that
feinstein is one of the leading characters in the war to rob Americans
of their RKBA.  she is very anti-gun.  YET, when she was mayor of san
Francisco, during her entire term, there were only a few (VERY few)
concealed carry license issued, one of them to HER.  Can you say
HYPOCRITE?  This is a common trait among the anti-gunners.  We have a
president who is surrounded by secret service agents with machine guns
to protect him and his family, yet he feels that my family is not as
worthy of self defense.   Can you say HYPOCRITE? In L.A., where the
Second Amendment Foundation won a lawsuit against the city for not
issuing ANY concealed carry licenses, during the course of the lawsuit
it was dicscovered that many of those same people on the city council
who denied their fellow citizens the right to self protection, had
themselves gone to neighboring counties and gotten the sheriffs of
those counties to issue concealed carry licenses to THEM.  Can you say
HYPOCRITE?

I went to a ball game this afternoon(Reading Phillies) and they had this
air cannon that shot T shirts at least 100 yards. The guy ruuning the thing
needs some practice as he shot several shirts out of the yard. I'm assuming
it was not spring operated because he didn't cock it before he fired it.
The barrel is at least eight feet long.
The thing with Dianne reminds me of all those holier than though groups.
The Sierra club goes into sensitive areas to take pictures for their

Nope Dean, I just can't agree that Hitler was the German government and I
do dispute that he was the Nazi party.  Started them, led them - yes.
*Was* them - no.  That trivializes the evil deeds of a whole bunch of other
people and doesn't give credit where it's due.  Certainly Mein Kampf was as
you state, but as the books of L. Ron Hubbard were taken forward by others
(not requiring L. Ron's intervention) so could have happened, if needed, in
this case.  I'm not really sure why you make these broad, sweeping
statements and expect the people reading them to find them logical and
acceptable.  No debate that Hitler owns the sick ideas as you pointed out,
but I don't for one minute think he carried the whole thing off himself and
everyone else just followed him like a puppy dog!  He had quite a cheering
section of co-conspirators.
Well enough of that.
Seems that you got my point which was that you *cannot* seperate the
personal agenda of the leader of an organization from the goals of the
organization.  That's why we don't really like HCI. Their stated goals,
while seemingly appropriate to the "average American" are backed by Ms.
Brady who has a rather different personal agenda.
