-
- It was a very tenuous connection, and doesn't belong in alt.bbs*...
- The connection was that I was griping how the "ONE" bbs con was put on
- by a bunch of ethically corrupt people, and said I had nothing against
- capitalism (among my arguments), but that network access to me should be
- viewed as a "necessity" for all, and that I was willing to see it be
- "protected" (in the economic sense), i.e., subsidized with tax money.
-
- Someone took "protected" all wrong, and started talking about taking things
- by force, namely taxes... and I foolishly replied that it wasn't what I
- meant, and that I felt taxes were a useful evil anyway... so off it went.
-
- Let's move it elsewhere! And talk about what to do with ethically
- empties like those at Boardwatch & e-soft (who put on 'ONE' with the
- intent to kill off the IBECC con, to jog your memory).
