[ExI] FW: taking remote causation too far

[spike]

Oy, I was afraid of that.  I forwarded the note for Alan Brooks, but the way
it comes back in reply it looks like I wrote it.  I am one of those oddballs
who really truly has no public opinion on abortion.  I have my views, but
these mine, not shared publicly, definitely not online.  Alan's note didn't
violate the guidelines for posting, so thru it went.

I always wondered why the dimension wasn't Pro-Life vs Pro-Death  or
Pro-Choice vs Anti-Choice.  It seems these two dimensions are orthogonal;
which is why it makes no sense for extremists to argue with each other.

I think we'll all agree:  the Pro-Death & Anti-Choice group must be stopped.
