Tip for ADF

Exaclly, I could see where it was going so I though why not lighten it up. I will take responsabilty for the highjacking but nothing bad was said to anyone else. Jhezzzz. Wonder what name he goes by now when he comes? So here is new forum plan, No having fun here anymore. We only answer questions when asked. Wouldn't that be fun. No wonder DrDan and 45 don't come to our side! LOL

Ok Kevin, I'm turning myself in too!

Jim, none of this is about you. Wheelie and I were trying to make a thread that was getting serious into something light hearted and change the direction of where it was going.
Why don't you stick around, take it down a few notches, have fun and share information? It's a free world here and you can do what you want to do but having fun is a whole lot easier than being combative.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury "Him", not to praise him;
The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with "Him ... The noble Forum Hath told you "He" was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath "he" answered it ... Here, under leave of a few members and the rest,
(For "this Forum" is an honourable place; So are they all; all honourable "members")
Come I to speak in "his" funeral ... He was my "friend", "faithful and just to me":
But "this Forum" says he was ambitious; And "this Forum" is an honourable place….
He hath brought many captives home to "this Forum", Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in "He" seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, "He" hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet "this Forum" says he was ambitious; And "this Forum" is an honourable place.
You all did see that on the Lupercal, I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet "this Forum" says he was ambitious; And, sure, it is an honourable place. I speak not to disprove what "this Forum" spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then to mourn for him? O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with "Him", And I must pause till it come back to me.

In other words, "His" blood is on our hands.

To be, or not to be : that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd

So the question remains....What shall we do; what will you do.

"if I stay there will be trouble, if I go it will be double"

Any way, decide for yourself whether a "bare bodkin" is better than "bearing fardels".

I thought he said he was gone and erasing this Forum from his computer?

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created equal"

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this ground-- The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.

It is rather for us, the living, to stand here, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
