Ehhhh! Misquote! I *like* liver! Cretin! Someone make a note of this! Mark my words, I'LL SUE!!! The very nerve.... Translation: I pirate stuff and only when I decide I will directly profit from shelling out some cash will I pay the author for what I have stolen. Now that you mention it, that sounds like a pretty decent way to operate, though I would word it a little differently myself were I so inclined. [paranoid ravings of how the FBI is gonna legislate us out of existence if we don't watch our mouths or something like that] I'll believe that when the last porn shop gets closed down and the last non-Christian church gets torched. And by then I expect to have been lynched for quite some time, anyway.... I don't know if you've forgotten or what, but supposedly we get this neat privilege called "freedom of thought" in exchange for having to have been born here in the good old U S of A.
