-Caveat Lector- All of your points are valid - when applied to the very small percentage of my fellow citizens who have done these things.
My message and questions apply to the vast majority of Americans, the ones I see and deal with every day - not the 1-3 % you have observed in your media coverage. Just how many of us do you think were involved in "communist witch hunts" or would support them? If you apply what you know about the U.S. to all of us rather than a very small group then you are as much a sheep as we are. It's like saying the Afghani people should be bombed because a terrorist leader happens to be hiding out there. Labeling does the trick every time. > -----Original Message----- > From: c.

Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please!
