Because not doing so can provide better longterm results for everyone. A larger and more diverse society unhindered by those who wish to exercise cruelty against other human beings winds up by its very nature being better in the long run: more freedom for individuals yields more innovation and production and widespread benefits. If you were trying to say that ONLY through "Uzibsmo (sp ... and sacrilege) says stuff", you were wrong again. But thanks for always asking those questions that you think can't be answered except on your terms. -- Meet the new wave, same as the old wave... Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
