Re: the reported bear attack
I am responding to this because I can't believe my judge of character is
this poor.
No one is faulting your stance on abortion. In this country, you have
that right. However, you are confusing your stance on abortion with
encouraging and condoning acts of terrorism. Separate the two, it is
crystal clear. You are letting your emotions cloud your judgement. It is
your flawed logic, rationalizations, and actions, or lack thereof, that
concern me. This is the mental deficiency that extremists share and
ultimately nourish. If you condone acts of terrorism, you are a
---------. If you knowingly allow a --------- act to take place, you are
a ---------. Extremists in this country that blow up buildings, possibly
murdering occupants, are not excercising freedom of speech. They are
terrorists. It is black and white. Timothy McVeigh was a ---------. Eric
Rudolph is a ---------. The issue of abortion has NOTHING to do with
justifying acts of terrorism.

The point I am making, is that being in Vietnam, for example, does not
automatically make you an expert on what happened there, and why. I have
talked to people who were there, many of them, and I have read books, which
some people here discount as a source of knowledge, and I helped pay for
Bosnia. This is why we have a society, so that we can share knowledge, and
maybe synthesize what the truth is. That is why we have courts now, instead
of lynch mobs, and taking the word of the first person who comes along,
claiming to be a witness.
The argument that "I was there", and therefore my opinion outweighs everyone
else's, is not a valid one, for the reason that all observers, no matter how
intimately involved, are human.
