   Surely sir, you exaggerate.

   More ridiculous misthoughts from the genius of tyrannical thinking. The   
   fathers of oru country would have dumped you into Boston harbor. You are a   
   terrorist to liberty.

   Why would I want to do anything that a cop did ? Are you losing your mind   
   now ? You just stated that as a "crimm", that I would be trying to do the   
   opposite of what cops do(by your definition of cop), so that if I would   
   think it alright to do as a cop does, as a crimm, then the cop would also   
   neccesarily be, as myself(again your definition) a "crimm"?
