- jsalmi@lookout.it.uswc.uswest.com ( John Salmi ) makes a convincing
- argument against Ammendment 2 by posting an opinion letter from the
- Boulder Daily Camera. He then astounds with:
-
- >The intention of the posting was NOT to supply fuel for a flame war. It was
- >also not the intention of the posting to offend. It was merely to inform.
-
- If you've spent more than five minutes reading any newsgroup, you know that
- this statement is utterly preposterous. I think you posted it for exactly that
- reason - to start a flame war.
-
- However, flames never sputter here for longer than a few days. I refer you
- to talk.politics.misc to hone the art of digital violence. The stuff you
- deposited in co.general is strictly Bush league.
-
- >If the posting did indeed offend, I apologize. If the article promotes open
- >discussion of issues, great.
-
- Baloney, you are not sorry, unless of course you have the sensitivity of
- a brick. Even if I believed that the letter raised issues worthy of
- discussion (which I don't), you can't honestly expect "open discussion of
- issues" after posting such a hostile piece of tripe.
-
- Thanks to the recent RNC, there is yet another divisive issue on the table
- which threatens to tear the country apart. As a former Republican, it
- saddens me to see the polarization taking place in this country. The L.A.
- riots may just have been a harbinger of awful things to come. Buchanan's
- speech was certainly not encouraging. Take the cities back, indeed!
