Putin, Scary

Communism lasted for more than 70 years in Russia. Freedom lasted about a decade. Vladimir Putin (Are we allowed to preface his name with dictator yet?) already did away with the last vestiges of a free press. Now he's proposing to chip away at democracy in the wake of the Chechen terrorist attacks. Putin wants the power to appoint governors, instead of the people electing them. He wants candidates for the national legislature to come from party lists, eliminating any independent or unapproved office seekers. Perhaps someone can clue me in regarding what, exactly, Putin's proposals have to do with fighting terrorism.

Why do you support the terrorists? Putin has got to do what it takes to win.

Congrats on passing Logic 101.

I'm very proud of you.

Because you neither challenge the validity of the inference nor the truth of the premises, DB, I take it that you agree that the argument is sound and the conclusion true.

Seriously, are you 15 or something?

I may or may not be 15. At least I don't try to sound intelligent by using cliche phrases and elementary logic.

Get a life was a great show. The tool belt wars was my favorite episode.
