Oregonian,

OK, I give you credit for consistency, but that's it.

OK, now I have to withdraw the consistency credit, since you added that locals do matter. Can't you make up your mind? Get on one side of the street or the other. Or do you mean that locals matter only when it's not convenient or doesn't seem appropriate to kill them? I think you've got something in common with the administration here. You're in a lose-lose quagmire. Time to cut your losses. How many country-men will you sacrifice to do so?
