Hi Chalu2; Well I just found a poll being done by Time "who do you believe started the fire at the Branch Dividian Compound in Waco. the results since 8/26/99 26.32% the Dividians 66.89% Law Enforcement 6.77% Undecided ------------------- It looks like Danfourth is going to wage a losing fight. At best he can win over the 6.77% undecided, and maybe not lose any of the 26.32% ..but this at best and really doubtful. I'm sure he won't change the minds of any of the 66.89%. -------------
What does the survey say to me ? Well the NEW$ will start playing the $ong the other way and now cater to the majority. It's going to get worse before it get's better. -----------
I see the Time NEW$ is still using the word Compound, instead of Complex. While thoes more set against the Government are using Church..we have a cold war now of" A Compound vs A Church."
A Complex fit's better, Actually it was more like a monastery than a Church , Churches may have some living quarters often call rectories hung around the back side that house the preacher and maybe a few helpers, But by and large a Church is the Large Main building and where followers from outside come to congregate.
What the Dividains had was more like a Chapel within a monastery, & they didn't have many outside followers. At any rate calling it a compound will only alienate the 66.89% even more. Sometimes I'm convinced the NEW$ likes to do that but mostly they play to what they think will raise their viewer numbers the most.
-----------
Back in 93 I suggested as strong as I knew how to the Justice Department not to play or to let the ATF/FBI play the suicide angle, it wouldn't wash. Best play was it was an accident, ( true or not ) it was the best position the ATF/FBI could have taken, and now they will be damm lucky if they can slide that by. The more they push suicide the more ground they will lose. -------------
I also suggested ( after they wouldn't let me go in ) that they use water cannons, I now find that they did consider water cannons but it was said that the water cannons might destroy evidence can you imagine that , they thought the evidence was so important taht getting it wet was out of the question, but what could have been worse than what they did ? A cruse missile ? Jim
