P.S. TaxFree, I really admire your flair for the dramatic, and your
willingness to make absolute pronouncements without the burden of
logical
justification. You have an excellent future as a divine chieftain if
your
anarchist fantasy ever comes true.

(Kevin Meredith?) mentions �logical justification�. 

Do try to logically justify your support of plans and 
preparations that involved your will and capacity to 
allow and accept the possible murder of hundreds of 
millions of utterly defenceless fellow human beings. 

You might want to start with a read of your rantings 
and a review of the taxfree@planeteer.com thread. 

You might also want to call your doctor, take a few 
full strength aspirins and read my other reply.

And, sorry to dump on your parade, but anarchy is what 
we will be left with; if any survive the all-out use 
of those weapons you just can't seem to live without.

And, surprise! I believe in taxes! 

Everyone has a duty to participate in funding the 
common neccessities. But when your doing that, and 
then saying that its okay to build weapons the very 
existence of which screams at everyone that we 
have no values, you have then reached a point at 
which decisions must be taken. I've made mine. 

It seems as if its okay with you that a societal 
decision, whatever it is, is the way everyone must
go. Sounds like some kind of surrender to the 
lowest common denominator. I'll pass.

�IN MUDDY FIELDS FORGOTTEN�

ABOVE MUDDY FIELDS FORGOTTEN, O�ER FOOLS THROWN THERE ASTREW,
RAPTORS SOAR SO PATIENTLY  FOR SOLDIER MEAT ANEW

THEIR CAW A CERTAIN TEMPO, EYES GLANCING DOWN THE WAIT
FOR BULLETS THROUGH VACANT MINDS AND CARRION FOR THEIR PLATES.

GOD! I PRAY! DAMN SUCH FOOLS! SUCH BRAINLESS, USELESS TWITS!
SEND THEM TO A SPECIAL HELL! WHERE TOGETHER THEY CAN FRIT!

ABOUT THEIR FLAGS AND COLOURS, AND REASONS LONG FORGOT; 
AND WHY THEY DIED SO USELESSLY, THEIR SHROUDED FACES FROUGHT, 

WITH THE PRICE OF THEIR STUPIDITY, 
AND THEIR SOULS SO CHEAPLY BOUGHT.

DO THEY CURSE THAT IGNORANCE, THEIR KNOWLEDGE TOO LATE LEARNED?
AND ACHE AT OUR �REMEMBRANCE�, OF BRAVERY NEVER EARNED?
