Merrick: “I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!â€Â
me: “Perhaps. But if you were an animal, would you stipulate that any executive authorizition for warrantless electronic surveillance on you would meet the requirements for one of the 1978 FISA exemptions? After all, the statute only proffers protections to US persons. Animals, per the statute, need to apply.”
Merrick: “I AM A HUMAN BEING!”
me: “Feh. That’s the same defense terrorists embedded in New Jersey are likely to trot out. And honestly? I wouldn’t believe them, either.”
But, but, but is a drugged up “freedom fighter” strapped with a bomb whose family is held to be killed if they fail to kill, maim and murder, a human or an animal.
Neither.
OBL and his monkeys are animals thus not protected by FISA. And the law of common sense.
But, John, in a certain light you look marvelous. Really. No, really.
HUMANIST!
HUMANIST?
Praise God! Let the lepers free, I AM a human. Not an animal.
Do I get to wear slippers now?
Maybe a simple fedora?
