It seems that Don Black has been shown that all those liberals he disagrees with so much will indeed stand up for his right to free speech. Good. I hope he takes it to heart the next time he tries to oppress some third-world country. I disagree vehemently with Don Black. Normally when I disagree with someone, I retain respect for them. But Don Black shows so little basis for his opinions that I find it hard to have any respect for him. It is obvious that he's just not too bright. Or he has a distorted view of reality. Or both. So I don't respect his ability to engage in rational discourse. He cries so often about liberals destroying his freedom (see my response to his 'Cheap Shot' article), yet he advocates actions which result in thousands being hurt or oppressed. When I conclude that Don Black requires toilet training, it derives from my impression of his mental state as shown by the contents of his article. So don't make a martyr out of him. No one wants to deny him freedom. But we all wish he'd exercise it more carefully ... -- Scott Crenshaw {akgua,decvax}!mcnc!rti-sel!scirtp SCI Systems , Inc.
