This is why I said we've taken it offline. If Miska wants to pursue the subject, right or wrong, I'll happily do so, one on one. If it keeps all you from getting your butts in an uproar over misunderstood verbal meanderings. This place is a real seething nest, isn't it. Haven't figured out it's purpose yet, but I remain properly wary... <g> > Especially since it's at the expense of a kid who's been > badly hurt doing what he believed in. This is where we part company. At the _expense_ of the injured military man? How ever do you justify even thinking that way, let alone say it publically? Ask his dad if I sent him a note expressing my sorrow that his son came to be wounded, and that he should regard it as an honorable thing to have happened. There are too few who don't have the guts or patriotism to involve themselves in an effort to keep our country safe and free. Regardless of your personal opinions of the effort the U.S. is involved in, the young man who paid his price for his contribution deserved the highest honor we, as citizens, can give him. I'm personally proud of his effort, and I told his dad that very thing. How can anything I'd said possibly be contrued to be "at the serviceman's expense?" That's so far off the wall, I remain seriously perplexed at your attitude and lack of understanding... > I didn't see the message that you had taken this off list, > good for you, keep it there. > > Right now I'm agreeing with Frank you should both be ashamed of yourselves. I've neither done nor said anything to be ashamed of. Sorry I can't accommodate your skewed feelings of what constitutes rational dialog between two adults who have differing opinions... That you don't want them discussed here on the list, I'll happily accommodate you there! Gladly. Peace be. . .even unto those with whom I disagree. keith > At 08:36 AM 6/30/03 -0700, Keith wrote: > >Better you should have just stayed out of it...
