[extropy-chat] Politics

[spike]

Russell, this is personal attack.  All the skeptics who insisted we could
not

discuss political matters without fighting are surely nanner nannering us.  

 

Russell, do be good to Brett, deal with the ideas, no comparisons to 

eisenia foetida.  Guys,don't blow it now, this is just getting interesting.
If 

you intended this as an offlist, please be careful with the address 

lines.  Personal attack must be done offlist, if at all.  spike

Russell, no polity can survive without the rule of law. 

 

That is what this is ultimately about, the rule of law.


What this is actually about is you being the sort of worm that used to lick
the feet of Hitler and Stalin when they were in power, and nowadays must
fall back on the likes of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. (Bush has
undoubtedly done some bad things - I've seen Americans reasonably criticize
his domestic policies - but you are quite a few light years short of being
capable of understanding the difference between good and bad.) You aren't
worth cluttering up the list for, but you inadvertently raise a point that
is, and needs reply; I'll address it in a separate message.
