Des, You love to bash leftists and inflame people. I find it offensive. Find something intelligent to say. Regarding crimes of thought. In the courts nowadays, they prosecute "Intent". Is that not a crime of thought, or of what someone else decides you were thinking. Did I intend to say something to someone to insult them or was it just a slip of the tongue or my inadvertent comment that some says caused them pain or discomfort. By the way Des, your comment hurt my feelings, and I think you intended to insult someone who isn't of your opinion.
