    @ Kitt

    "What an inane reply. Not only does it have nothing to do with the discussion, or to do with my last comment, your reply is an avoidance of the utmost transparent order. Plus, it is a grotesgue over simplification of the facts.

    -- Kitt

    It's not "inane" that people who fought for freedom from opression oppressed others. That was only one part of my post, anyway. Why are you so hostile? You STILL don't get that you and I are on the same side?
