- Has this world gone ENTIRELY SCHIZOPHRENIC? I won't repeat the postings
- pointing out that folks like the above (^) were screaming, just recently,
- that we were all scum for not rushing out and saving some lives, and now
- we're scum because we are! So the US motives aren't virgin-white, WHO
- CARES?! Do you fools live in such a world of absolutes that you won't eat
- if your food isn't 100% ALL NATURAL, your napkins 100% CHLORINE FREE and
- your dishes 100% (lead-free) CRYSTAL? In an imperfect world we will take
- what we can, even if it's George Bush's shot at personal immortality, to
- move good things in good directions. We will watch the players like hawks,
- cry "Foul!" when we see hands in the wrong pockets, but we will NOT defeat
- the purpose by screaming like spoiled brats and refusing to play if things
- aren't EXACTLY the way we want them!

- Mr. Wells, of Northeatern University, I don't know how you ever arrived at
- a statement that could call ME a 'gratuitous right-wing idealogue', I have
- taken enough crap defending my idealist beliefs and trying to achieve some
- REAL good, however small. Come back to the real world, and join the
- program. If you want the world to handle situations like this in a manner
- more to your liking, you should probably invest your time in calling for an
- effective world body (oh, gee, the UN isn't perfect either! WORK ON IT!).
-
- To the rest of the fanatics out there, BUY A VOWEL! Get some focus! If
- you want to work against something, use sharp sticks, NOT NUKES! If you
- are careful and don't randomly thrash around, you can ditch the bathwater
- without throwing out the baby!
