No, this is what I said: In my message last Thursday, 2:04 pm: "Right after 9/11, one of the first thoughts from Cheney was "Great. Now we can finally go after Iraq."" In my message last Friday, 4:55 pm, I said that my use of the word "thoughts" was incorrect and then wrote: "It does show there was already a plan in place regarding Iraq that they could latch onto, and that the WTC loss could be fit into that plan, and people's mourning about that played upon. And it has been." There's nothing about oil in those messages, is there? If you want to argue with my view that part of the reason for this war is to gain access to Iraq's oil, then do that. > I believe Kakki said she had read some of his works. >From Kakki's Friday, 12:06 pm message: "I cannot think of any enlightenment I would personally get from reading him." Sounds very clear to me. Relying on reviews of Chomsky's work written by a right-wing think tank is not the same as reading his words. Of course right-wing writers would present his work in the worst possible way. Being aware of and honest about the bias of what one's reading and quoting does not seem as important to some other people as it does to me. So, this "Chomsky" point is not something to argue about anymore. > I realize you want to support everything Kakki (and Sarah) have to say, > and constantly needle me every chance you get.

All's obvious just by reading your unpleasant messages over the last few months since you joined the list, most of them full of sneering sarcastic remarks, with you making rambling comments about things you half remember and half understand. Your tone is usually so nasty I've never paid much attention to what you have to say (and have probably missed some of your needling), and will start completely ignoring your messages as soon as I send this. > I do agree with Kakki, and Sarah on many things, not all.

I think I'll pass on that. > You are doing much of what you accuse others of. Yeah, right. Attempted zinger duly noted. Now, move on, Kasey. Playtime's over. Debra Shea
