Well, I wasn't a fan of his music but have nothing against him. I didn't
dislike his music either. I liked Key West a lot, and suppose that might
give me a reason to enjoy his music. Wish I could get in on the Key West
real estate boom, especially before Cuba opens up. Or the nascient Cuban
real estate boom that's around the corner... I'd hate to think the filthy
capitalists are going to sew that up without letting the rest of us in on
things. At one point a development group composed of gays bought the entire
main street properties in Key West (I don't remember the name of the street
at the moment, but the one where all she shops are located now) for a mere
million dollars. It has to be worth half-a-billion now. And the values
double every couple of years.

That's not the issue. The issue is that terrorism is a mere tactic. It's a
marker for totalitarian movements, however, so the misnomer really isn't as
bad as all that. But basically we're in a century-long war against
totalitarianism, and we no sooner defeat one form than it morphs into
another. The most recent is Salafism/Qutbism. It's the social cancer and
scourge that took over as the primary threat once we finally ended chattel
slavery (against similar objections of a Democrat "peace movement," by the
way).

Again with the Cold War stuff. I'm talking about Chile today, and naturally
you want to talk about something else. Why wouldn't you?

You're talking about vague and unsubstantiated allegations by the left. I'm
talking about current investigations by Congress and other institutions into
the most extensive and cynical fraud in history.

Naturally I can understand why you wouldn't want to discuss it.

Their present rules of engagement don't allow them to protect groups that
aren't under active attack at the time. Nor are we allowed to investigate,
make arrests, and punish people for genocidal crimes. Their role is
basically passive, and has no real hope of employing any of the tried and
true tactics that are known to work against such an "insurgency." Hence,
the slaughter will just continue behind a stonewall of lofty obfuscatory
rhetoric.

And gee, I though it was just a way to win election campaigns and
implement creeping fascism domestically.

I like to remind people of atrocities committed with the consent and
support of the right wing politicians and parties they support. Duh!

If it annoys you, then it serves its purpose.

Paul Volker failed to find the "smoking gun" all the right wingers were
hoping for. Deal with it.

What is vague and unsubstantiated about the missing money that was under
the control of the CPA/Bremer? Or are you now in the business of
inventing "facts" like your heroes Cheney and Rove?

No, but the UCI was capable of banning recumbent bicycles from competition.

Whatever. One of our local columnist wrote a column on Dean's passionate
nature. To illustrate she said Dean left the Episcopal Church because they
refused to approve a bike path proposal he had put forward. That is all she
said. I would like to know the rest of the story. Like when does one lose
their religion over a bike path? What is the Episcopal Church's role in
approving bike paths in Vermont?

Since you seem to know a lot about Mr. Conservative who hates the Republican
party and every thing it stands for, I'm wondering what you know about the
bike path situation. I'm wondering if he now hates the Episcopal Church and
everything it stands for?

I have to kinda like Dean for not being the usual Dem phony and for his lack
of double speak. Plus his screams don't bother me all that much. It should
be interesting to see how it plays out for him, Hillary, and the others.

Bike paths are a religion. Do a "Gurgle Gropes" [1] search for "Martin
Krieg" to verify.

I can give you double postive assurance I won't be googling Vandeman.

Skip,
Leaving a church is not the same as changing religious belief - your
question is based on an assumption that is not true and therefore no
reasonable answer is possible.

In many ways the organized church has been the worst possible thing that
could happen to Christianity (and the same could be said about other
religions). In most cases, the religious "authorities" put personal
and/or group aims and beliefs ahead of the doctrine established by the
religion's founder and/or prophet(s).
