Sometimes useful when dealing with tarts and twits IMHO.
I usually judge whether somebody should be kill-filed according
to their ability to hold and discuss an intelligible thought, and of
course, honesty in a discussion :P

Mate, I sympathize :) I'm stateside and I can't really understand
The numbers and approval ratings being touted by the Republicans.
I'm inclined to think they're fabricated/heavily massaged, UNTIL
I see falwell come on CNN and give an interview where he states
That the MidEast problem is progressing nicely for the second-coming of
Christ,
Or I go on Chat/IRC on a political channel, and actually interact with
some of these religious right wing nuts with 0 capacity for analytical
Thinking, 0 knowledge of history, or even a rudimentary ethical
System despite they're repeated claims to moral superiority...
Its really sad.

Hahahahaha :) Hardly likely. Its even funnier when you consider
That half the time Americans don't even know what they're competing
For, or why. Personally, I'ld support a permanent thorazine drip
For 80% of the US population :P Supplanted by a VERY LONG forced
Sojourn in some of the countries they've helped "build" in the last
quarter
Century. That would be an excellent start.

PS> since I'm new to the list (but not the digest), and usually somewhat
inflammatory
in that I do like discussing controversial issues, I would like to add I
am not a troll.
I take such issues very seriously, insofar that current policies in
place a)distract
from more significant issues, like death, disease, of course fair trade
and extension of
human knowledge b) indirectly affect me in those areas (fairly
negatively so far I might
add across the board)....
Anyway, hello :)
