[ RadSafe ] RE: WAG THE DOG (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Syd H. Levine]

Well said.

The problem here is that Franz seems to believe he has some G-d given right 
to bash the US, but any counter view (or defense thereof) should be 
disallowed.  Either all political discussion should be disallowed, or 
anything is fair game.  It is a peculiar aberration of the liberal thought 
process that censorship is not seen as censorship if the disallowed views 
are not favored by liberals.  It is the consensus of scientists that George 
Bush sucks if that sounds familiar...

One of the best lists I am on is an unmoderated machining forum where just 
about anything goes.  I often learn a great deal from OT threads, and it is 
always possible to filter "OT" so long as everyone agrees to use said 
designator in the subject line.  In any event, I have never understood the 
fervor of the "net nannies" on these reflector mailing lists.
