[Vision2020] Say What?

[Joe Campbell]

Look it up yourself. You don't trust my sources anyway! Trust me, I'm  
not going to waste my time trying to convince you of anything. I'm  
just here to note your errors.

Of course Gates could  and should have handled it better. But once the  
ID was shown, the officer should have left. His services were no  
longer needed. Everything after that point was a waste of taxpayer  
dollars, something you usually care a lot about -- though it is not  
surprising you ignore it when it suits you. That is your MO.
