Subject: RE: BS: Frank Talk about the US in Iraq
Well, thanks, Bruce for quoting me accurately! I am impressed.
Tell ya what it is, BB -- these ponderous generalizations in defense of sociopathic wars just get under my skin. I know perfectly well that there is a decent human being lurking around behind Martin's handle. And he knows I know it. But he chooses to heap abuse on people, not just me but almost everyone he speaks to or about, in terms that a sixth-grader would be ashamed of, and I have had enough of this puerile attitude. If that makes me a shit-head in your book, then just go over in Martin's corner and join him, but no whispering, now. And you'll get a note for your Moms, too. You can look at the pictures in "Family of Man" until recess.
OK. That said, what is it in my views that you think of as "bigoted"? My bias against war-mongering? Guilty as charged. Prejudicial judgment against self-serving misrepresentation in public office? Ditto. My instinctive dislike against wholesale human slaughter, unnecessary murder, attacking others with blunt instruments? Guilty to all.
Do you think the world is divided into "us" versus "them", Bruce? If so, who do you think is "them"? Are you tuning up for the Rapture and looking forward to the miseries of the unbelievers too? Or just doubling your bets up in case?
I am done here. You Bush-tonguers can have this thread if you can find something coherent to put in it. At least until I take care of a few real-world concerns and settle down some.
