Pro-Iraq war American kills his anti-Iraq war American friend

[Benbow]

Life seems very cheap in Kentucky.

It happened at Floyd County flea market on Thursday, when two friends, who were firearms vendors there, drew guns after quarreling about the war. Douglas Moore, 65, of Martin, who backs the war, shot and killed Harold Wayne Smith, 56, of Manchester, who opposed it, according to investigators.

Hope this does not set an unhelpful precedent.

7. don't worry, dupes are not a crime in any forum besides LBN. nt

5. Dupes, spread out across time in non-LBN forums are okay IMO

I saw this a few days ago but think it's being double posted. For one thing, it's unrealistic to expect people to check the the last couple days of non-LBN threads before they post.

8. Sorry!

11. **in best stuart smalley voice** We're ALL okay.

You were not wrong in pointing out it was a dupe, just didn't the want the fairly new one to think s/he had done something inherently wrong.

3. Life is cheap everywhere

Kentucky, New York, what's the damn difference. Human beings have killed human beings since the dawn of time for no damn good reason and it will never stop.

10. hate to say this, but the leadership

of america tends to effect the attitude of the populace-
and i've seen a HUGE sea-change since bush took office-
an arrogant, sarcastic, bully mentality that makes me cringe,
and have to struggle mightly not to emulate.

Sadly, i fail far too often- We need an administration who understands diplomacy, patience, how to lead not dictate, manipulate, and bully.
"You are either with us, or the enemy" is NOT leadership- it's dictatorship.- Why hasn't anyone ever called him on this?????-

"NO NEGOTIATIONS- I don't have to answer to anyone- Wanted dead or alive- We will rid the world of evil"

those are the words of a madman- and we are under his dominion.

9. Aren't firearms vendors supposed to be responsible with weapons?

I guess not.
