Rats,
It has been eluded to on this board that you are a socialist or a communist.
Is it true?
I only ask, because I am trying to understand your point of view.

Now you've gotten me curious: Just what do his political convictions
have to do with his opinion about a means of waging war, or his
apparent hatred of the US? It is quite possible to not take political
beliefs to the point where they become automatic grounds for a holy
war against all those of opposing views.

I'm also forced to note that the way in which you refer to socialism
and communism implies that these views of the world are somehow
shameful. Am I reading too much into it, or is this true?

Rob

Socialism and communism are, and have repeatedly been shown to be,
immoral. They inevitably lead to dictatorship. They are very shameful,
and any intelligent person sees them as such.
