Funny how inquisition thinking can come from the most unexpected places... Whatever happened to, "while I disagree with your opinion I will defend to the death your right to hold your opinion". 40 years ago that's what I was brought up on as the brilliance and meaning of the American experience and the reason so much blood was required to be shed in far away places like Iwo Jima and Normandy and why events like Midway were so pivotal in the history of freedom. Defending Freedom appears to be cyclic and even the best of times only delays the inevitable conflict to preserve Freedom. rbw -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
