Dear Aunt Karen, I personally have asked them politely on several occasions to join our Brotherhood and be part of the Collective yet they refuse. Do you have any suggestions as to how we should indoctrinate them so they too can see the Light? Thanks Comrade Vince

But I feel guilty about them. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER..... Never feel guilty, particularly about the actions of others ! __________________ edit: Never retract, never explain, never apologize; get things done and let them howl. ~ Nellie Mcclung ~ _________________________ But I fear that isolating and ridiculing people with odd views makes them more, not less dangerous. I am NOT isolating them, on the contrary, my intention is to bring them to the very front and be exposed. When will they ever grow up ? patronizing them, in my eyes, is worse. It actually makes them believe that they contribute with something of value. They don't bring value to the table! Show me the value, then I will respect them. I think that approach applies to people, as well. Yes, of course it applies to people... remember Nations in reality ARE people. The concepts of "nations", "flags", and "patriotism" are concepts created by politicians to separate people. If you don't believe me, go watch a soccer match (amongst people of the same country, but different teams), they behave like fan-animals, exactly like people at war. [defending "their "colors"] What bullshit ! With all due respect to the brave soldiers... (they are not at fault) What did the Americans that died in Vietnam died for ? And the Argentineans that died in the Malvinas/Falklands war, the most stupid war I have ever known, died for? Just because a drunken baboon in uniform decided it would distract people of an entire nation from the economic disaster they were living under... Someone smarter than me already said it.... "If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed." --Thomas Jefferson I have no obligation to patronize stupidity. I hate being a party pooper. You are not. You bring intelligence and common sense. Why, [even if I were drunk, which I am not], I would feel "pooped on" g in the middle of a party. I would never feel bad about receiving an intelligent comment. (even if it is against me, but it has to have value, logic, common sense) Auntie Karen HA ha ha ha ha.... That made me laugh !!
