I have observed and argued with your kind on ... There's a great French film "Mon Oncle d'Amerique", and it explores several folks' lives and their reactions to stress in them, all the while there is a narrative and nature shots about how critters deal with stress ... there are those who fight whatever is causing them stress ... straight-out; there are those who fight themselves; and then there are those who fight whoever is around them during stressful times.
You're in the group that likes to fight whoever is around them - friend, fellow countryman, or foe - it doesn't matter for you.
"Our kind" happens to grant themselves the freedom to think and to explore. "Your kind" happens to grant themselves the freedom to buy into the party line, and despise all who do not.
Funny ... "your kind" appears to have a great deal in common with the Taliban and Osama.
Au contraire my dear little umbrella-headed wise introspective and objectivist friend, my kind are the decisive types who have historically been called upon to clean up the messes created by your kind....the handwringers and contrarians. Did you see the idiot Law Professor form Illinois at Urbana/Champagne opining all the thoughtful nuances about "law" and "liberty"? He reminds me of "your kind". Soft, indecisive, weak and preoccupied with self. I have lived in brutal environments my dear and "your kind" are nice targets. This is war. All of you objectivists and Dubya bashers can shout your shrill hyperbole from every hilltop after this is over. Right now, no one is listening. Most of "your kind" is reacting thru their opinings on this forum exactly as I expected they would should a cataclysm ever happen as has unfortunately been the case.
