No, I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy and I would treat you with consideration and kindness as
that is my nature. Those of you who judge me by my posts to this newsgroup, which is motivated
strictly by the need to combat the liberal nuts and screwballs that exist here, judge me most
awfully wrong. As Skip may have told you once before, I am a lamb in wolf's clothing, whereas Mr.
Sherman is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is too bad you can not recognize this very critical
difference.

Mr. Dolan,

If you were broken down along side the road, and I had a tool that you lacked but needed to make
repairs I would lend it to you. If you needed a spare part that I had, I would give it to you.

That I find your views on the use of violence to achieve political ends abhorrent and your frequent
use of gratuitous insults to be uncivil would not change my behavior.

Yes, and so would I because despite our differences we are both basically civilized human beings who
are participating in a high culture.

I do believe in violence if and when it can prevent an even greater violence down the road. If the
other European nations had acted against Hitler in his early days with violence WW II could have
been prevented easily. We are acting against the Terrorists now with violence to prevent even
greater violence in the future. Prevention and preemption is of the essence.

You insult in your way constantly and I do so in my way. That is the only difference. I am open and
above board, you are underhanded and sneaky. I leave it to to others to decide which way is the more
honorable.

I think this approach is falling flat on its face.

Why is it that a liberal rant sounds to my ears discordant and raucous (see any of Barry's rants for
an example) whereas a conservative rant is pure beautiful melody and harmony as if coming from on
High. Liberals sound like Nielsen, conservatives sound like Sibelius!
