	I was going to compose a reply to Don Black's latest,
but Charley Wingate beat me to it.  He even anticipated my
opening line "just when you thought it was safe ..."

	Mr. Black's postings are a classic example of the Big
Lie tactic.  Note the accumulative effect, of steadily
increasing violence and intensity.  This is how Mr. Black
deals with counter-arguments: if you try to argue against one
implausible statement, he simply follows up with something
even more implausible and outrageous.  He simply shouts down
the voice of reason.  He may even prevail in argument with
saner minds, because one doesn't know where to begin refuting
him.  By the time you figure it out, he's off on another,
scarier, kick.
	
	He is serious.  I don't think he's an AI program, nor
is he the collective alias of a little group of jokers.
Sad to say (and alarming), he probably thinks he means what he
says.  We needn't be swayed by the content of it, however.
There are a few points that haven't been remarked on by the
net:

	(a) On Memorial Day he suggested that all the Vietnam
Vets thought as he does, and will be ready to rise up and
smite the one-worlders.  This is only Mr. Black's fantasy.
	(b) The claim that there is no income tax comes from the
same guy who thinks that there was no Holocaust.  And that the
Jews (including Jesus (I mean, Yeshua)) aren't really Jewish.

Regards,
Chris
