Note: I have cross-posted to net.columbia because of the references to arguments originally appearing in net.columbia. >Further, I was accused of being a flaming leftist, communist, pinko >and owner of photographs of all your children on their way to school. >I think this was either because I thought plutonium was a health hazard This isn't what the argument was actually about. Everybody agrees that plutonium is dangerous to some extent. The actual complaints were about your exaggeration of the danger, not your statements that a danger exists. >or that Gus Hall was not the world's foremost authority on the Space >Shuttle, Wrong again. What ACTUALLY mattered was not that Gus Hall made the statement, but that the statement was published in Pravda, apparently indicating that the Soviet government (slightly more important to worldwide affairs than Gus Hall) wanted its people to believe the accusations in the statement. -- Kenneth Arromdee | | BITNET: G46I4701 at JHUVM, INS_AKAA at JHUVMS -|------|- CSNET: ins_akaa@jhunix.CSNET -|------|- ARPA: ins_akaa%jhunix@hopkins.ARPA -|------|- UUCP: {allegra!hopkins, seismo!umcp-cs, ihnp4!whuxcc} -|------|- !jhunix!ins_akaa | |
