Done with it? I certainly didn't _start_ it. But more characteristic? Certainly. That sort of arrogant contempt for most Americans is far less common among conservatives. We don't know The One Truth. That's not our job, after all, so a conservative who pretends he does is behaving in a fundamentally aconservative manner. Saying that most Americans are, I forget the charming turn of phrase, but arrogant fools was the sense, I think, isn't something you're going to catch John, Kevin, or me doing. Ever. I submit that the fact that I was (I believe) one of only two people to note and comment upon that particular statement supports my earlier contention that has got you all upset. The fact that you're more upset at my response to it that the statement itself does so even more. So the question is, what does it say about you that what Tom said didn't bother you enough to object to it? Want to prove me wrong? I'm willing to accept that I was. I was pretty pissed at your comment, since I was trying to have fun and you were being very rude. But I'll accept that my statement was easily misinterpreted. But if you want to prove me wrong, saying something when someone on _your_ side of the political line says something like that would be a good start. If John ever did the same (and I don't think he ever would, because he's a _lot_ more polite than the people on this list who abuse him constantly and then whine and whimper when he snaps back) I'd call him on it. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
