This is hypothetical from both our perspectives since neither one of us is there (and as I've said here before, I no longer practice the sidhis). The last part of my comment on war's current obsolescence explicitly mentioned negotiation as an alternative- hard-headed and grounded negotiation, keeping our country's best interests in mind.If you would rather support killing, then that is your choice, but keep in mind that it is a choice, not the sole alternative. I'm not so sure that bouncing in the dome will ever accomplish the desired goal either but I'm all for give it a good try since it is harmless and not done at tax payer expense. As for resolving conflicts by negotiation, I think everybody agrees with that approach when the people you try to reason with are reasonable. But when somebody puts a gun to your head or attempts to while reasoning, self defense is one's first obligation. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

While I know it's not your intent, I'll take that as a compliment. Until then, go to the dome, round your ears off and maybe the people that would deprive you of freedom will have a change of heart and not want to force their way of life on you and others and be content with their own lives as they are or try a more civilized means of bettering themselves. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
