[extropy-chat] Exhibitionism (no, not THAT kind)

[Samantha Atkins]

Shame on you.  That some mother of one of the soldiers whose live was  
wasted in this pointless atrocity of a war would actually do this is  
great in my book.  It served to make it a lot more real to a lot of  
Americans.  Your endless apologetics for this administration and its  
actions and attacks on anyone and everything that cries foul are very  
tiresome.  So shame on you.

I think it is time I stopped reading your biased rants for a while.   
Again.
