there is nothing in usenet as annoying as people who jump on a soapbox,

Mike mimics the actions of anonymous millions. Unable to deal with the
subject matter as it questions intellectual focus and personal
character, he presumes that the majority will ooh and awe at his
emerging ability to read instructions regarding killfiles. Gosh Mike!
Were you hoping for a "Well Done!"?

Sorry little man, but its not a soapbox, a target maybe, but definitely
not the pillbox protection you peek from before you dare to write.

That which your empty echoing so studiously avoids is this: Everyone,
including cowards such as yourself has a duty to consider the state of
humanity and the role they have played or avoided in allowing it to
develop mindsets that think mostly in terms of killing; i.e. ".killfile"
- but you would never see the relationship, not yet anyway.

Little man, I set you a challenge. State publicly, in this forum, to the
above noted newsgroups, using your full name including the reference to
your pubic friends, that not only do you possess courage enabling you to
confront your government and the societal insanity that presently guides
your thoughts, you have insight sufficient to realize that you must;
and, not being a total coward, you will.

And remember, little man! I offer no support to anyone participating in
this refusal. That necessarily limits it to people who can think for
themselves, and have courage to do so.

Your not in that group yet, perhaps may never be. But now you have
something to think about, a reason to develop your critical thought
process  . . . or to continue  whining your woes about others presuming
that your kind may have an interest in anything.

My previous signature file describes you to a "T". You dared not
confront me openly, failing to include any text in reference to me, the
quintessential act of a coward. No wonder your upset at what I
accomplished, your wasting your life bitching and whining instead of
doing some thing that may offer a positive result.  

My new signature file poem, little man, might salve your conscience, if
you mistake the meaning.

BTW I leave for work between 6:30 - 6:45 AM arriving home approximately
7:30 - 8:00 PM, work only a half-day on Saturdays, getting home,
usually, between 2:00 - 2:30 PM and do most of my weekday writing
between 10:00 - 12:00PM. When do "you" write little man?

CLEARING ONE�S CONSCIENCE

Why do thinkers bother you? Can they not see?
Your health is great, your job secure, your future worry free!
Reciting sports statistics; Viewing social plays;
Putting pedal to the metal; Speeding through the haze.

Neighbours local objects; Seen through curtained glass.
Your shared concerns limited . . to the price of gas.
Dismiss starving children; Their cross not yours to bear.
Their misery - not your fault. Why should you have shared?
