Were all animals, capable of horrible or fantastic things. What we do with that knowledge and power is the real problem. What genre of quoteable will we be debating next? MANY people worldwide hate/despise many things. If we begin here, where does it end? Will we be discussing a kernel level "hitler" filter next? C'mon, I believe that most reasonable people can separate the actions of someone from their words from a historically relevant point of view. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
