Although this is not worth the bandwidth, sorry folks.

Yeah? At least we stopped the F**kin' War, not soon enough for me
though. An experience I have promised myself not to go through again.

You seem to have studied the propoganda well and missed the main point
that radical armed uprising was called for by a limited radical
faction, not all supported this action. But as the war dragged on
and our friends and neighbors were coming home in body bags for a
cause that was as useless and stupid as the recent Gulf War.

Armed revolution looked like the only way
to possibly stop the madness being perpetated by our country, in
a country where we had no business being involved at all.

I can ascribe what ever motive I feel like, it's not much different
the you calling me a drug addict, junkie in email, without any
valid basis for justification.

Get a life Bruce come down off your high horse, and oh yeah fuck
grammar. I not being graded here, judged and convicted maybe.

A little anti-intelectualism never hurt anything. It give perspective
to pompus bullshit.
