Good God No! I have no interest in discussing such a stupid subject, I'd
rather debate if an egg should be opened at the big end or the small end.
During the last war the US was involved with this list spent more time
documenting the horrors of ad hominem (what an incredibly pompom phrase for
name calling) than it did on the very real horrors that were going on in
Afghanistan at that moment; a misdirection of priorities that I hope is not
repeated.
