Reminds me of the guy from Chicago who told me that the mafia keeps the city safe.

that Raymond believes that totalitarian regimes provide overall social stability.. So you found an area of agreemnt with him. both Hitler's and Stalin's regimes were quite stable . I would personaly have defined stability as not needing largescale purges and changes to remain in existence. Maybe you are referring to manure filled horse houses or something. TP

Hawk, Re: The point was that Raymond believes that totalitarian regimes provide overall social stability.. You are distorting my words, now aren't you? I spend weeks trying to get you to admit that unbridled militarism is not the proper course for this nation to be on, and what do you do? You completely neglect the thrust of my argument against war-mongers, and you come up with a remarkable distortion of my words. I don't approve of or support totalitarianism, please make a note of it. I tend rather to be on the libertarian end of the scale. -Ray
