Guns don't get left behind buried in fields and self-detonate years later.

There are a number of different types of anti-personnel land
mines. "Anti-personnel" just means they're not designed to disable a
vehicle.
They're not intended to kill anyone. In military terms, it's much more
effective to disable someone because it costs the other side manpower
and resources (money) to deal with an injured soldier. So, a year or 5
years after the military situation has changed, when a child steps on a
landmine while playing soccer in an abandoned minefield, it blows off
his foot and then the kid's family has to deal with a disabled child
and the kid has a ruined life.

Here's a story about a "liberal" of the Curl variety:
from the WSJ OpinionJournal.com
Prejudice
Black Republicans should be able to live without fear.
BY TED HAYES
Monday, January 2, 2006 12:01 a.m. EST
American blacks who are affiliated with the Republican Party are
vigorously vilified by Democrats, especially black Democrats. Uncle
Tom, sell-out, Oreo--the list of slurs is long.
But it is not only insults. I am the founder and director of a unique,
progressive homeless facility in downtown Los Angeles, known as the
Dome Village. Yet the 35 men, women and children and their pets who
call the Dome Village home are being "evicted" from privately owned
property after 12 1/2 years--apparently on account of my political
beliefs and activities. You see, though I am a leading homeless
activist, I am also a conservative Republican and a strong supporter of
President Bush.
Here's how the situation played out. Recently, I was invited to address
a local Republican Women's Club; my landlord read an article in the
local paper reporting on the event. Soon after, I received a notice
raising the Dome Village rent from $2,500 a month to $18,330. Shocked,
I inquired as to the seriousness of the change, and the property owner
blurted out that the cause of our "eviction" was "because you are
Republican." He said that as a Democrat, he was tired of helping me and
the Dome Village. In other words, let the homeless be damned.
And people think the Democrats are the party of compassion and
tolerance.

KLG is nuts. I would support this Republican's charitable activity. I just
wouldn't vote for him if his politics follow those of Bush et al. (I am
surprised, though, that he isn't already receiving grief from his fellow
Republicans for doing a liberal thing - being charitable.)

Do you also support the liberal charitable "activity" of the Democratic
landlord??

Of raising the rent as "retaliation". No, I don't support any
vindictiveness. Remember? I'm a Liberal.

bountiful. 2. Appropriate or fitting for a broad and enlightened mind. 3.
Free from narrowness, bigotry, or bondage to authority or creed, as in

monarchical or aristocratic, as in politics; broad, popular, progressive.

klg is also quoting a wall street journal op-ed column, not a news
story but a column. There is a big difference. And a column from a
very conservative newspaper at that.

Re 190 Would you suggest calling klg an illiberal as opposed to a
conservative?

Richard Lies. The Wall Street Journal is a liberal newspaper with a
conservative editorial page.

No, he's a theocrat. (Monarchists rule "by the grace of God". Theocrats think
they ARE God.)

I actually thought it might be fun to set up a web cam so I could spy on
my subjects while I was at work. Because you know, snoring is just so
thrilling.
