The attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a Tucson shooting rampage that left six people dead and scores wounded should be a wake up call about the political volatility of the country. OK? Invective: abusive or violent language used to attack, blame, or denounce somebody. Time to take serious note of the invectives and periodic calls for violence by a former contributor of this list. Time to close the door on this behavior and advocacy. I re-read some of the material from the past several months and much of it contains words and sentences like "I hate," demands that one accept political terrorism and suggestions that a contributor to this like might be a fascist. A silent list is better than advocacy for political terrorism, extermination of classes and violence under the banner of Marxism. The assertion that Lenin castigated opponents and therefore invectives are legitimate is insane. The assertion that defense of Marxism and Leninism requires invectives is not valid. One can disagree but does not have to be disagreeable or strike a verbal pose to intimidate. A silent list is better than advocacy for political terrorism, extermination of classes and violence under the banner of Marxism. Waistline
