Been to a drive thru lately?

CI- You left out "please listen closely because our menu has changed..."

Punishment? o-KAY. Bill, I've responded to your posts because I think the issues you raise are important. I am not here to kiss your arse, nor to treat you with kid gloves. Let others here do that for you. I will not. I am responding to your posts, not to your emotional needs.

Some here would make molehills out of the contradictions between racism and humanitarianism, the contradictions between money as one's bottom line and HUMAN BEINGS as one's bottom line, and the hypocrisy of simultaneously claiming the two; the antithesis between war and humanitarianism, and the gross contradiction between war as revenge and war as humanitarianism, and the hypocrisy of simultaneously claiming the two. I, like de Kere has pointed out, make mountains out of these issues.

If you don't like how you in your thoughts and actions, as you yourself have admitted to, fit these labels, don't blame me for pointing it out to you. Your hypocrisy and your doublethink--if not your racism, as you have it--is YOUR problem. Deal with it.
