Hmm. I didn't think that rabbit!jj was attacking Larry Welsch at all.
I thought that he was describing my mailbox. I guess if he and I have
similar mailboxes, this makes sense. I thought that Larry Welsch just
happened to bring the subject up....I brought it up a few weeks ago
when my mailbox overfloweth...

personally, I think that most people want to be called either a
"liberal" or a "conservative". Therefore they call people they don't
like "conservatives" or "liberals". It just means:

	I hate you
or
	I hate your positions

but is tons shorter to type. And it gets a big emotional reaction out
of a lot of people who don't recognise that they have this emotional
investment. (I suspect, but I do not know, that they would understand
that they had emotional investment in the phrase "I hate you").

I think that we need more inventive nasty words. I have always been
in favour of "microcephalic protohumanoid" but it has th disadvantage
of being hard to spell.
