>I am sure you know by now, hypocrisy is something I find particular alluring. :)< So now we know why you are a hypocrite. This explains so much. I have never heard it described as alluring. This is a novel and unusual take on hypocrisy.

The point I got from her use of the peace symbol was the hypocrisy that the crowd which protested for peace, seems to be the same crowd so willing now to use mafia like tactics now that they're in power. If a person who thinks differently at 50 than they did at 20 is a hypocrite, there must certainly be plenty of those around. It might be argued that a person could believe that it is wrong to fight undeclared wars to ensure that the governments of faraway countries are acceptable to us, and also believe that the government has the right to us force to ensure that their own citizens comply with the law, without seeing any major contradiction. A touch of the apples-and-oranges, perhaps.

hypocrisy is something I find particular alluring Do you find no hypocrisy among those who denounce the human rights abuses of a Castro, but had no problem with using our tax dollars to train and arm the death squads that upheld the privileges of the feudal elites of Latin America? What about the people who inevitably add the Ruby Ridge incident to the list of Clinton/Reno atrocities, conveniently overlooking the fact that it occurred before Clinton took office...?
