	OK, I can see it now: a call-for-votes for "rec.letters.chain".

	The problem isn't that his posting was "inappropriate" for the
groups it appeared in, but that it was _illegal_.  It constituted WIRE
FRAUD!!!

	These kind of statements really annoy me.  What do you mean, "it's
a privilege"?  Do you mean that only people of royal blood can drive cars 
or post to Usenet or some such nonsense?  While I'm sure that certain elements
of the government would like to think that they can revoke people's driving
licenses without due process, people get very unhappy when it attempts such.

	"On the other hand, groups like Planned Parenthood, the Charter Party,
the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Organization of Women, are all
part of an anti-Christian network whose cause is to work for anti-Christian goals.
That network is overly peopled by members of the Reform Jewish Community and men
whom I believe to be Freemasons."
