I listened to "The Moral Maze." Most interesting.

Diane seems to resent my comments (perhaps she feels that because I'm an American, I'm butting into a private fight), but this sort of thing is a global issue.

There is a sufficient number of Lee Barnes's soul-mates here in the United States, and in just about every other country. What he said and how he said it is nothing I haven't heard before. The rantings of the Hayden Lake, Idaho enclave of neo-Nazis, a similar bunch of "survivalists" in eastern Oregon, and people such as white supremacist David Duke commenting that the day Barack Obama was elected president was "a black day for the white race in America." And I have debated people like this face to face. So the ranting of Lee Barnes is nothing I haven't heard before.

I'm quite sure I'm on a few lists of people to be rounded up just as Diane says she is.

I don't give a damn about whether I'm important to them or not. My interest in this is that if the BNP is successful in their aims, that will offer a great deal of encouragement to the local fascist vermin. A few decades back, I think Churchill said something about preferring to defeat the fascist aggressors on the continent so you wouldn't have to fight them at home.

P. S. And we're not having turkey.
