I almost sent this as a private Reply, but here it goes:

This is not a subject for public flaming.

I salute your libertarian-type vigilance against an intrusive state, as evidenced in the many posts and the pattern of posts in your personal profile.

Your debating style, at this point, is getting abusive & defensive.

I don't fight Freepeers if I can avoid it, generally, especially distinguished Freepers, like yourself.

I will not contemplate the theory that Bush is part of a totalitarian conspiracy, but you are free to do so.

If you believe this theory, you are potentially endangering yourself, by declaring it on a public thread.

If you don't believe it, you are being a bit reckless.

I don't believe you really believe this, you are just trying it out and seeing how far it can go.

If so, I too like to sometimes pursue far out scenarios which I think are unlikely but which have a certain internal consistency.

Paranoid schizophrenics, which I worked with at one time, have internally consistent, but inelegant (complicated) belief systems, which are,neverheless, not the simplest explanations for reality, not by a long shot.

Paranoids are sometimes right, but more often they can create self-fulfiling prophecies, i.e., enemies whre there were none previously.

Osama bin Laden is a case in point.

My last reply to you contained the word, in caps, "ENDED."

Ended means "ended."

IF you are a true libertarian, not a pseudo libertarian, who wants and needs to contol others, like some so-called "libertarians," you will leave me alone.

This is called the totalitarian impulse or need to control or domnateor abuse, others.

I have seen such an impulse in some relatives or fiends who are, or claim to be "libertarians."

Your forbearance, and ability to respect my wishes, is a test.
