Six, Five, Four

and Three Fafblog hosts

These are a few of the things

that I miss the most

Ya know, Spot, I think that if Fafblog was still active (to my limited perception) that that would help with my huge sense of loss for the various amendments in the Bill of Rights as well. Somehow Giblets, Fafnir or The Medium Lobster could always find the lighter brighter positive side to compromising basic civil rights. Somehow The Medium Lobster could explain just how substituting a grandiose slogan like 'War On Terror' for an actual war* could make sense. Somehow, Spot, when Giblets and Fafnir discussed it, I could laugh about losing the right to a speedy and public trial. I could joke about being compelled to be a witness against myself, and could be downright jolly about the right cause to probably be insecure in my person, house, papers, and effects.

*War

1. A conflict involving use of weapons and physical force by states or other large-scale groups, coinciding with a lack of dialogue between the parties. Warring parties usually hold territory, which they can win or lose; and each has a leading person or organisation which can surrender, or collapse, thus ending the war.

2. A legal state created by a declaration of war and ended by official declaration during which the international rules of war apply
