A sense of fairness compels me to ask: So if the RWE types call us names, it's wrong, but when we do it, its okay? Exactly when is stereotyping a good thing?

Bart,

You forgot to add our support of the Batiste regime, who supposedly gave Generalissimo's everywhere a bad name.

Our missiles in Turkey (aimed at the Soviet Union) predated the Cuban missiles. It would be wrong to imply that after several years of fruitlessly asking the US to remove the missiles from Turkey and getting nowhere, the USSR just assumed that what was good for the goose was good for the gander. Or maybe it was just a calculated move, because once the missiles left Cuba, we started pulling ours out of Turkey.

On the other hand,

Just because a particular group of people are heartless, selfish, uncaring, self-centered, money-grubbing, humorless proto-fascists, I see no reason to rub their nose in it. Clearly they are merely victims of repressive parents and rigid, authoritarian private schools. Its our job, no, our solemn duty, to see that proper social and educational programs are instituted to help them overcome these deficiencies imposed on them by their up-bringing. Perhaps a peer mentoring program where LSCers could proctor them and help them transition to the real world. (Note to Republicans: The forgoing is a joke.)

Regards
