Well said.  I applaud your speaking out what I'm sure echoes the
feelings of
many silent followers in this newsgroup.

I find this kind of thing amazing.  Meek individuals, admittedly
"lurking yet not speaking" suddenly becoming so aroused by the written
word of another they must respond.  They not only respond, they respond
to each and every line and statement with a simplistic, childish aside
that shows only a grade school concept of the constitution and real
debate.  Screw you.  Snipping naughty words and telling others they
should "love it or leave it" is pinheaded at its ignorant best.  These
people are the perfect dupes of the politicians, blindly following any
crap fed to them and buying into the fascist propaganda. Scott and Susan
should get together and start a threatening letter writing campaign to
stamp out dissent and make the world, Cowlumbus and Ohio State safe for
milktoast thought.  Guess what kiddies?  Angsto has accomplished his
mission, namely to get nervous nellies like you to stop being another
"brick in the wall" and actually DO SOMETHING, even if its just to toss
off your little backbiting nonsense. Waaah, waaaah, waaaaaaaaaaah!
Crybabies.  You and yours have created the kind of society we live in
today, one where it is immoral to have sex or look at it, and moral to
bomb babies and claim to be proud of it.  Sick fuckers.
