- The *really* interesting thing is that DOD apparently regards
- firebombs, death threath, vandalism, and couragous acts such as pouring
- gasoline into the ceiling of a clinic and dropping in a match as acts of
- "civil disobedience". I had no idea he was such a late-sixties-style
- radical firebrand! I mean, I took part in the occasional protest back then
- myself, but I always drew the line at firebombing the ROTC building and so
- on.
- I'm impressed. The boy's a true radical leftist! >:-)>
- But I guess when God(tm) is on your side everything is excused in
- advance, eh?
