You sign your posts "just my opinion." That is the only truth your posts contain, for they are utterly devoid of facts, reason, and the significant relationship the two play in an argument. There are many reasons why certain people will always be in a minority: they are smart, they are stupid, or they are insane. Suffice it say that you are not smart. <rhawk@megabits.net> wrote in message news:3b4917df.588485@news.megabits.net... > > I think of the Davidians that died in the compound at the instruction > of COWARDLY Beaurocrats, Then I look at the picture of the federal > building with the front blown off and I think, Paybacks are a bitch.. > > Just my opinion.. > > Bob > > > On Sun, 8 Jul 2001 16:15:43 -0700, "An Entity" <anonymity@ucla.edu> > wrote: > > >In fact, it's too bad you weren't in the Branch Davidian compound. > ><rhawk@megabits.net> wrote in message > >news:3b4591d9.2066699@news.megabits.net... > >> > >> All McVeigh did was send a message to Janet Reno to reminde her > >> of the SLAUGHTER she perpetuated at Waco and the killing ay Ruby > >> Ridge..
