-Caveat Lector- Let this be my "straw man," then.
But, Edward, as long as you rail against social movements as straw men without qualification (and you do realize that you have your own opinions), then not all of it is devil's advocate. You do have your own reasons for posting, not all of them experimental - in fact, I'd say that few are. I can't claim otherwise about myself, either. Thanks for your thoughtful response, however. - jt (not a fish) fnord ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Britton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -Caveat Lector- Joshua: > > I'm sure you hate the people who killed > >Daniel Pearl because of ... well ... those same people tore down the Twin > >Towers.

I'm glad to report that you are. :-) I've been subbed to CTRL--on and off-since about 1994, and have posted rants on just about every form of brutality (government sanctioned or otherwise) imaginable. I do, however, occasionally throw up straw effigies in order to elicit group response or to test the waters of opinion, so to speak.

This is too obvious, although arguably, they are self-destructive enough. To a degree, Muslims are as much of a victim in this "scheme," if there is one, as the rest of us.
