Here are a few things which have been on my mind, but were not worth
individual postings:
1. Don Black was censored in a most distasteful fashion. I personally find
his view of the world objectionable, but I will defend to the death his
right to present it. Using pressure on his employer is dirty, dirty pool.
2. The notion that the Russian word for deterrence translates to intimidation
is not strictly correct. The Russian idiom for "strategic deterrence" is
sderzhevania putem ustrashania, which literally means "containment through
intimidation".
3. If you don't like the ads for TechNICA, see my recent posting in net.misc.
I give the address for an american organization which supports the other
side: Friends of the Americas

4. Don't assume you know my political views from my postings. From them, you
could conclude either that I am a radical leftist or an extreme conserv-
ative. Neither is correct.

She takes the podium as thousands watch in person, millions on television.
The expected sentence is read: death. A hush settles over the audience.
Strong hands clasp her shoulders. She shrugs them off and in defiant tones
that will ring through the centuries shouts "Long live the Revolution!"
Her arrogant response send the crowd into hysterics. The hands once again
grip her firmly. She is taken away, never to be heard from again.
