[Young Werther]

In a moment of mega pique at my Toastmaster's meeting, I answered the following question. "What would your plan be for a response to the Berg beheading?"

I answered: I would use our stock of neutron weapons to wipe out the Islamic religion. 2 Billion Dead would mean lotsa oil, less global warming and resource depletion. My only concern would be whether there would be enough virgins for the influx!

I apologize for the rant but in all honesty I don't see how we can "negotiate" with a mindset that begins with the premise, "Do What I say or Die!"

I HAVE to know (as a recovering Toastmaster myself): what was your audience's reaction to your candor?

I apologize for the rant but in all honesty I don't see how we can "negotiate" with a mindset that begins with the premise, "Do What I say or Die!"

Too right.

No apology needed... it's rants like this that reassure me I'm not alone. And people like yourself who keep me coming back to FR... cheers
