OK...I'll start using the 'From' line when posting. I was going to use a name indicating paranoia once, but I'm NOT paranoid. I embrace the fight if it comes and don't really care a lot about personal safety. Wouldn't one have to consider those things pretty seriously in order to be a full-fledged paranoid?

But something I DO admit to is that I've alienated a BUNCH of you here, so henceforth I'll try to remember to post as 'The Hated Guest'. You folks DO have a point about fair warning and all that, so just skip my stuff if you don't want to read how GW's grandfather had to be stopped by Congress under THREAT OF ARREST from doing business with Hitler, and the Bushes today are in business with the bin Ladens. GW had his human shield of school kids on Sept 11, and now he's going to take care of all of you. Fine. Remind the firing squad of that.

Really...this stuff is true, so I can't understand why I've engendered such hostility here, unless you folks have just too much of your lives invested in the false Chamber-of-Commerce paradigm. It was hard for me to let go of that view of America, though, so I understand.

Yours sincerely,

The Hated Guest
