[mod.politics] Is freedom boring?

    Kieth,

  Please recheck how my name is spelled.  This is about the tenth time
you have misspelled it.

    I've notice a lot of the blandness you complain about not only on
    television but on mod.politics.  Why do you dominate and your Ayn
    Rand myopes insist on reformulating every comment that comes up
    into a problem for objectivism/libertarianism.

  What appears on this list is what people send to this list.  People
who don't like what they see here have nobody to blame but themselves.
And most of the messages from me are in reply to messages sent to me
and CCd to the list.

    This is the most boring political philosophy imaginable.

  I am sorry you find liberty so boring.  Try visiting a communist
country.  Perhaps you will find their politics more exciting.

    Take a few days off and see what other people have to say.

  I am spending much of the three day Labor Day weekend catching up on
my backlog of messages sent to me that I haven't yet replied to.  This
one, for instance.  If you don't want me to send you messages, don't
send me messages.  If you don't want to see my messages on the list,
either don't read the list, or use a mail filter program to edit my
messages out of the copy you read.  But first, ask yourself why my
messages disturb you so much.  Do they strike a little too close to
home?

    I don't post on the big board unless I've got something really
    important to say.

  Good for you.  Same here.

    ... you must realize how little variety there is here.

  Is that my fault?  Am I supposed to be a one man list?  What you
read is what people choose to send.
                                                              ...Keith
