jsalmi@lookout.it.uswc.uswest.com ( John Salmi ) makes a convincing 
argument against Ammendment 2  by posting an opinion letter from the
Boulder Daily Camera.  He then astounds with:

>The intention of the posting was NOT to supply fuel for a flame war.  It was
>also not the intention of the posting to offend.  It was merely to inform. 

If you've spent more than five minutes reading any newsgroup, you know that
this statement is utterly preposterous.  I think you posted it for exactly that
reason - to start a flame war.

However, flames never sputter here for longer than a few days.  I refer you
to talk.politics.misc to hone the art of digital violence.  The stuff you
deposited in co.general is strictly Bush league.

>If the posting did indeed offend, I apologize.  If the article promotes open
>discussion of issues, great.

Baloney, you are not sorry, unless of course you have the sensitivity of
a brick.  Even if I believed that the letter raised issues worthy of 
discussion (which I don't), you can't honestly expect "open discussion of
issues" after posting such a hostile piece of tripe.

Thanks to the recent RNC, there is yet another divisive issue on the table
which threatens to tear the country apart.  As a former Republican, it
saddens me to see the polarization taking place in this country.  The L.A.
riots may just have been a harbinger of awful things to come.  Buchanan's
speech was certainly not encouraging.  Take the cities back, indeed!
