- Facts? What facts?
-
- If it's anti-anything, it's anti-US-gov-actions. I don't like
- governments aiming for totalitarianism especially when they're trying
- to impose their worldviews on all of the world and it's a shame to see
- so good a constitution being ignored.
-
- You're right that it will probably not be the last time I voice my
- opinion on this, but it will be the last time I'm directly commenting
- on your articles, as you are now in my killfile. Your articles -
- though they have points once in a while - in general are just too much
- noise to make them worthwhile reading. Perhaps this will help you and
- your need to take ad-hominem attacks on me will end.
