One can believe (as I do NOT) that a centralized autocratic government, possibly headed by a dictatorial leader, with economic and social regimentation is a good idea, without beleiving that anyone of a differnt race should die or be subjugated.

Beides you can achieve the same faciest goveremnt while claiming to be for free markets, small government, national security, and family values. No raceism required. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Davd Brin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yipe!
