I don't think we can afford to do that anymore, either, because they'll just get busy working on nukes and icbms and other ways to exterminate us en masse. I think this one may be the final confrontation, and it's us or them.
I have no objection to that view. I recognize it's validity. Still, what is now taking place is not acceptable either.
We either grown a backbone and start dictating, or learn to take dictation.
I am still counting down. Five weeks to go. There are contrary signals now and then, but things appear to be continuing to the end of March deadline anyway. If it doesn't happen, so much the better, but it's a good time to check and update the Y2K stash.
