[ RadSafe ] RE: WAG THE DOG (UNCLASSIFIED)

No Steven, Doug is not correct and neither are you.  If political attacks are to be allowed on 
the list, then defences of those attacks must also be allowed.  Mature people may turn the 
other cheek once, even twice, but we are way past that.  At some point even mature folks get 
tired of being slapped, so if someone is touchy there is a good reason for it.

If you agree with Franz so much, why don't you and he go start another listgroup?  
BushStinks, or EvilUSA, or maybe just WeSurrender!  There are so many here on Radsafe 
that want to hear your Thoughts Political, but by staying here you deprive the world at large of 
your deep insight.  So help them, give them a forum, a Voice.  Heck, you're such a cogent 
commentator, you should take it on the road like Gore did.  You're too talented to waste your 
time with a bunch of nuclear physicists.
