- If revenge is your motive, it would seem to me that others deserve this
- fate more than I. If your conjectures about my opinions of the "Guilt

- How 'bout the recent discussion of immigration in the AS?

- Just what actions did you take to make you feel so guilty? Or, what
- actions did you fail to take? Why are you an accomplice? Were you
- fooled by the lies of politicians? Did you fail to take the time
- to personally go investigate the situation? Why haven't you begun
- your mass murder campaign to rid the world of a million dangerous
- people like me? Do you have power over poor students that will cause
- them to hate themselves? Yes, I guess I'm deliberately insulting.
- You're such a fool, you're making me angry.

- $4/gal wouldn't bother me personally, but the US standard of living
- would go down quite a bit and I assume that the "poor" people in
- the US would suffer the most. Since the current market price is
- $1.15 or so, who would get to keep the $2.85 difference? The UN?
- Why would this be the start of the real world? Your ideas really
- are wrong-headed. You ought to be in politics.
