You are just taking longer to say the same thing, that to fear commies is silly. I still think it's silly for Americans to fear Communism at this point in time. Perhaps silly isn't the best word, but it's close enough. I haven't changed my view on that. I was simply trying to explain the various components of my rationale, breaking it down one facet at a time, nice and simple. If a communist attacks, it is not an act of an individual, it is the act of an entire organization, that has killed hundreds of millions of people. JLA had introduced something of a red herring with his notion of Communists as domestic terrorists. A Communist domestic terrorist is no different from any other flavor of domestic terrorist, all other things being equal, therefore we can ignore this part of the argument. My point about dentists was to illustrate why we can ignore this part of the argument and focus on what is unique about Communistm, which is it's ability to alter our system of government. I realize that that takes a modicum of mental agility. I'm so sorry. Karen
