Communism is a religion of BLOOD. Have faith.
Of coures, what the NYT/GLOBE prints (same organ) is w/o bias or political agenda. w/o Norm Chomsky the killing fields of Cambodia would have been impossible cuz McCarthy (both) was right!
I continue to admire J.C. (both) In case you all missed the agenda the main canadates want 17 yr. old with M-16s going house to house for gun (etc) confiscation.
But, of course, what I express taint PC to youse!


"While birds can fly, only humans can argue.
Argument is the affirmation of our being.
It is the principal instrument of human intercourse.
Without argument the species would perish.
As a subtle suggestion, it is the means by which we aid another.
As a warning, it steers us from danger.
As exposition, it teaches.
As an expression of creativity, it is the gift of ourselves.
As a protest, it struggles for justice.
As a reasoned dialogue, it resolves disputes.
As an assertion of self, it engenders respect.
As an entreaty of love, it expresses our devotion.
As a plea, it generates mercy.
As charismatic oration it moves multitudes and changes history.
We must argue -- to help, to warn, to lead, to love, to create,
to learn, to enjoy justice, to be."
