JDG Yup. But then again, I'd expect you to flame it, frankly. And you have. Congrats on that one. Lemmie restate - it's humour. > should know that this kind of phrasing will be viewed by the opponent If you view it that way (opponent), then I don't think you should be throwing round IAAMOAC. I don't believe in IAAMOAC in any case - if you call what we have a society, then the world's a sick place. For a deacent societal model I refer you to _Freehold_, which is to be published by Baen in september. I have the snippets of the first few chapters if anyone is interested as they're no longer on Baen's Bar.
