Fwiw, while I don't quite understand the distinction that Mo is making, I can understand his not wanting to pursue a discussion. I myself intended on giving some thoughts about some of the stuff posted, but when I saw how much was there, and all that was said, I figured I'd probably be better off (as would everyone else! :)ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€š if I just left a line or two and moved on. The Charles Rangle thing, for example... yeah, people (ie. Democrats) were pushing for a draft... but why? So that they could deceptively bash Bush during the election and stir up young people into thinking that the Iraq war was going to make reconsituting the draft necessary. It was all a political ploy, not a sign that our government is becoming Orwellian. If someone is going to quote something by Rangle, why not point out the blatantly (reverse-)racist remarks that he recently made (emulating Jesse Jackson)? He plays the fiddle as the inner city burns. There is enough absurd and sickening stuff in society as it is, there is no need to look for takeovers and conspiracies and the like.
