I will go after anyone who I believe is
totally wrong. Remember, the right to express
an opinion does not automatically mean that
opinion is correct. There are many people who
normally cruise like submarines beneath the
surface of our society whose radical, lunatic
politics have been exposed by this crisis,
and I am happy to shine a light on them.


My analysis McCarthyism at its finest.

Admittedly, And we'll all try to bear in mind that the

I was abrupt yesterday, and I apologize. There was a meeting I had to get to, then the wife needed the car again, so I had to remain offline.

Anyway, all I wanted to point out is that the majority of views expressed by the world at large are very real. They may be inaccurate -- but what do you want from a global community of secretive hunter/gatherers? Conspiracies are to be as expected as conspiracy theories.

Tom, you've been spouting your theology (no, I guess that's politics, isn't it?) all over these boards for a number of months now, and I really have nothing against you personally, but please bear in mind that this is not MSNBC, and the people here have come to consider each other in a more or less "friendly" way, actually enjoying the art of conversing. A rapier wit is all well and good, but please keep the blunt on your epee. I would not like anyone here to bleed on account of any of us.

We're still all in this together.

Cheers,
Dan
