Regarding post #175. You are right. Those facts have absolutely nothing to do with arguments for and against the WOD.

It was written in response to several people who accused me of being drunk or high or a "liberteen" or a whinger. I think they were "ad hominem" attacks but I'm not sure of the latin used in informal logic. In other words my comments on why some young people might not feel as if the WTC crime has anything to do with them were dismissed with disparagement of my imagined character. I thought of reporting abuse to the sysadmin but concluded that would be kinda wimpy.

I think I was trying to explain (to myself, at least) why I feel that the fate of this country is my personal responsibility and why I think, under certain conditions, it may be best for me to show it some "tough love" by walking away from it. Not that anyone else in this country, or this forum, cares what one more nobody thinks about any of this.
