Great message, Greg. You deftly answer all of Exorcist's charges. 
More power to you, sir!

  Exorcist, the "lefties" that do the bombing were a tiny, tiny, tiny minority of the old anti-Vietnam War movement. Calling themselves the "Weathermen" they were a handful of spoiled rich kids who know nothing about organizing a real anti-war movement. The party I belong to has always strongly condemmed them (we were the ones trying to bring the anti-war movement out of the colleges into the working class), as of course everyone else. It's ironic that a huge amount of attention is wasted on those assholes (recent books, movies, articles) instead of the 100,000 or so other students that were doing something positive against the Vietnam War. In fact most of these pseudo-terrorist groups are tiny compared to the rest of the left. It's no accident that the rightwing media harps on them endlesslly, to convince poeple like you that they represent the whole left. It's like saying that all rightwingers are in the KKK--do you believe that to?

    You're getting your facts mixed up. It's the lefties that enjoy bombing and killing.
    William Ayers, Susan Rosenberg, ELF, etc...

      Now that would be a media circus.

        If so, why are the ultra right-wing nut job hate-filled paranoid talk radio nuts freaking out b/c they think Obama may be Muslim due to his name? I agree it shouldn't matter (although I'd prefer an atheist president, or atheist anyone for that matter)...

    Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
    We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
    else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
    to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is unethical, while
    a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the spirit of diversity,
    inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
    Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
