Hanson, Edmonton, Canada 11/15/12 It's like this, you US and A jackasses? Let me put my foot up your ass. 1 Reply Mike, Norwalk 11/15/12 L. Hanson, are you asking permission to now accompany your pre-existing head position with a newly desired position of your foot ? Hmm, not just a socialist brown nose but some one that likes the smell all over - is that a north country thing ? ;-) As to the quote, I'm not quite sure how to rate it. Freedom and liberty at natural law are inalienable rights of the sovereign individual (you and me). BUT, in a world of Hansons and other jackasses, it becomes an earn and conquer requirement to express that inalienable freedom. 1 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/15/12 L. Hanson, perhaps you should sober up before sending that sort of nonsense. 1 Reply J Carlton, Calgary 11/16/12 Hanson = Ignorant Bigot...nice. jim k you're probably right. That sort of inane rant has the appearance of alcoholism or drug abuse. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
