I would just like to thank Bill for taking the time to make the point 
that comparing the human rights situation in the US to that of the
USSR is a 'big lie'.  I am totally weary of the attempts to make the
two situations SEEM the same.  The weird thing is that everyone in the
USSR knows the truth, the vast majority of the American people know the
truth, and I suspect even most of the people who try to deny the
truth (like our prolific Tim Sevener) know the truth.  It just goes to
show the power of the lie.

Of course, truth has a power too, it just takes longer to show.
As that evil man A. Lincoln said, 'you can fool some of the people ...'
Incidentally, Tim, how do you think the Lincoln administration would
rate in terms of willingness to negotiate, freedom of the press,
repression of opposing politcal views, electoral fraud?  I'm sure
that Marcos had nothing on Abe.  That is why I refered to him as 'evil'.
Maybe we could have a human rights commission that would evaluate 
the Federal Government's behavior.  Then we could oppose that behavior
even if the South won the Civil War!  There's nothing like standing on principle, eh.

What that's you say?  You say the previous paragraph is absurd?  
It doesn't seem founded in reality.  Do I really want the South to win?
What's wrong with me anyway?

Just joking Tim, we all know that you REALLY post all these articles
to stimulate discussion.  Right?  You really don't think that if
the Communists take over the world (excepting the vile part know -
in a typically ethnocentric way - as America), right Tim?

The difference between the supression of speech in the USSR and in a  
mall is that the USSR can impose any penalty, including death if the
party (CP that is) feels like it.  What is the worst that you can 
get for tresspassing?

Think about it.
