Subject: RE: BS: Marine Message from the Front Lines
Kumbaya???? Now that IS a low blow! I went to your site, MFH, and read Lepus' email. I believe that the man is mentally ill. No one here is defending his position, at least as far as I can tell.

If you had read through this thread and others, you would know that.

I admit I have no nads. Being female, I refuse to apologize for it. I do however have NADS. And if you are going to stay, you may want to check out the postings of a certain catspaw who will provide more than you ever wanted to know about them.

Be forewarned. Spaw was a conscientious objector in the Viet Nam War and spent time in jail rather than flee to Canada. He is a man of principle as well as rather rude sense of humor.

I do have a question for you and I hope you will answer it seriously and with some thought. Marines go to war to defend the rights of Americans. One of those rights is free speech. How do you resolve the quandary of having that right used to protest the very war you are fighting? And can you at least see (not agree) that people using that right of free speech to object to what they perceive as illegal acts by their own government are patriotic?

I am liberal but hardly a genius. And though I know I am going to regret this - I honestly don't know what "frenching" means. Maybe I am; maybe I'm not.

A serious response will no doubt produce more dialogue. More name-calling and I am out of here.
