HE demanded that they explain "why it *IS* > morally correct..." <quote> Would you please be so kind as to explain to me why ..." </quote> You consider that a demand? That is the most incredible statement I read in this entire thread. If I had demanded an answer, I would have clearly indicated it. I am not bashful, as you may have noticed. I simple asked him to explain why such behavior would be morally acceptable. At that point he made the accusation that I had attributed such statements, directly or indirectly to him. I neither did, nor is there any evidence to support the claim that I had. Both of you choose to conveniently sidestep that simple fact. Although to his credit, he did explain his feelings on the matter. Now, if I asked you to explain the moral justification for the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, would I be accusing you of actually having written it? You don't think things through do you? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
