"Valis": >> I thought it was wonderful when a Gulf War vet blew up that G-building (though he could have proven the same point on a Sunday, when his victims were in church praying for extended American hegemony and other heavenly signs). McVeigh taught the big boys some manners, and when those manners flag somewhat more than they already have there will be other teachers. There are, alas, times when force is necessary to restore to very idea of consensus a new core of honesty and respect.> I'm disappointed in you. This is the most fuck-witted thing I can remember seeing on PEN-L, and that's saying a lot, unfortunately. Reminds me of the anarchist in Germinal who inveighs against capitalism over his wine, blows up the mine, and skips town. mbs
