Thanks for the answer to my poll.<br><br>So, you think asking specific questions to sw, and pointing out what they seemed to miss in their passionate romanticization of their agency, is not fair territory?<br><br>And I guess pointing that Waco was an ATF-provoked genocide, is worth LOL'ing about to you.<br><br>Here's what I saw, and why I asked: <br><br> <!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>...I have made a handful of referrals based on stuff I found on this site to other agencies. I even recommend to some of my contacts in other federal agencies to consider reading this site... <br><br><br>...If I ever get out of Intelligence, then I won't have a valid reason for reading RI I guess. But, until then, I think it is justified... <br><br>...I think ATF should be non sectarian in our protection of all Americans, not just Christians.... <br><br>...I have had the opportunity to work with some of the finest people I've ever met while here at ATF. I love this agency, I love my Division...<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <br><br>So it's not ok to ask sw what's up? <br>You don't think sw's comments betray at the least some serious miseducation.<br>You don't think we should call these people out, even if they are in the open. I think sw may represent a particularly interesting poster, maybe they're all on the level, I don't know, I'll check their answers and evaluate then.<br><br>I'll tell you what, it's <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>wrong</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> and in my opinion <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>unconstituional</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> for the government, or a foreign govt working for my govt., especially fuckin' ATF employees, to monitor these forums, and exchange info with each other about what they read. <br><br> "...police, military and even intelligence bureaus have a reason for existing, however they also use their powers into territories which are beyond that reason. <br><br>I think it's <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>you</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> who needs some debugging, Doc. You obviously have lost sight of the historical reason these agencies exist in a capitalist society, check Smith's "Wealth of Nations" for example: to protect the propertied classes from the property-less. <br><br>They are not truly "going beyond their reason" when they do what they do. Conspiracy is the natural and eminently logical extension of the role they have always played, within the capitalist system, the system we live under."<br><br>I just want to be clear about one thing: <br><br>I'm not in any way justifying any sort of harrassment, or illegal activities against government employees, even if they are criminally-culpable. Until such time as the citizens of the US get it together politically, through non-violent, constitutionally-protected actions, to either abolish, reform, or alter the role these agencies play, the only tools I advocate are our constitutionally-protected right to free-speech criticism of the actions of our government agencies and their employees. <p></p><i></i>
