	I'm puzzled - what set you off? If it was not obvious that I was
parodying a line of thought totally repugnant to me, I apologize. I *do not*
support setting anybody adrift anywhere - I was (I thought) burlesquing the
thought processes of Archie Bunker - Posse Comitatus types. I do not agree
with those people.

	What? Huh? I'm still puzzled. How did you get anything like any of 
these "ideas" from my posting? I have a vague notion that we are sort of
in agreement towards things like condemning Nixon and supporting Aquino, but
I really have no idea how you get the idea that I'm the kind of person you
seem to think I am. Very strange.
