I actually posted some of your past articles about Dekkers and
company on Freerepublic to get a rise out of the grazers. Sometimes
the articles are pulled by a hall monitor by the name of johnhuang2.
The purpose of Freerepublic was to a) get Clinton Impeached and b)
get Dubya elected. Having accomplished it's mission, Freerepublic has
become a haven for geeks and lonely elderly folk with too much time
on their hands.
Since the election and 911, not much in the way of dissent is
tolerated on Freerepublic. Tant mieux tant pis
