Here is a set of quotes, reaching back into the gun-control argument,
that I found amusing.
Don Black, writing about a Massachusetts gun law, indulges in some
poetic description:
If we look closely at this Act, we find that it was pushed through the
legislature under pressure from the Hero of Chappaquiddick.
Charles Forsythe, ever the purist of network morals, is quick to defend
the net's unwritten law of strictly factual, unornamented language:
This is a stupid, cheap shot.
Black signs himself:
Member,
American Pistol & Rifle Association
and Forsythe, pretending to quote the signature, renders it:
>American Pistol, Nazi & Rifle Association
No comment.

This may very well be a cheap shot at the American Pistol & Rifle Association. It is, however, a perfectly appropriate shot at Don Black.

Maybe I haven't been on the net long enough, because I don't EVER remember seeing that Don Black declared himself to be a Nazi. I HAVE seen an awful lot of name-calling going on (You don't like someone's opinions? Call him a Nazi, Commie, pinko, Fascist, etc. In the earlier days of the Soviet Union you could even get him shot!). Your contribution didn't add *anything* to the discussion, Mr. Dimitrovsky. -- William Swan {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!persci!bill
