"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

Perhaps because they had not done it in a few days, the administration decided to thumb its nose at the world and nominate John Bolton to be U.N. Ambassador. Among other things, this is a guy who led the administration's opposition to a treaty on small arms because it did not protect our precious second amendment rights -- precious rights of which the terrorists are taking full advantage (NYT, reg. req'd). Well, at least there's no global test.

Precious second amendment rights! Your kidding; how dare the President nominate a man who cares about the consitution.
Oh, dear. First: The small arms treaty is about illegal weapons trading, not about the legal sale of weapons within the United States. So, you see, one can "care about" the second amendment and still support it. Try reading the treaty before you jump on the Bolton bandwagon.
Second: When one is truncating the words "you are", the proper form of the contraction is "you're", not "your". Since "kidding" is a verb, and therefore not a noun, "your kidding" makes very little sense.
But, as you might say, how dare I care about the English language or intellectual rigor!
