Um, do you know what "Nazi" stands for? Hint: its an abbreviation. >I'm going to laugh rather than cry, and hope this is as abberant as it >seems. Its certainly abberant in that the PC line is that all bad guys are on the right (ever hear Dan Rathe ror Peter Jennings talk about "the extreme left wing" or "left wing liberals" even 1% as often as they talk about the "right" counterparts?). I mean, remember when there was a coup by communist hardliners against Gorbachev? I got really mad when every source in every news medium seemed to be describing the hardline communists as "right wing." I called up CNN to complain, saying "they're the ardent communists, for crying out loud!" but he said that this is what they news agencies were all going with viz. the labels so that was the way it would be with CNN. Oh, well.... par for the course. -- Dave Bakken, dbakken@bbn.com, +1 617 873 6072 ``If Nicole Simpson had owned a handgun,she'd be a wealthy widow today.''anon ``Don't grieve that you accidentally ran over Bambi and Thumper.
