Hi Blarney!  Why don't you stick to your tale of Maoist cannibals?  You
sounded more authentic and sincere then!.  Who would want the support of a
person who is going to support anyone when he believes them to be cannibals?
For every Blarney Rosser's symphaties we may lose, ten thousand people will
realise that we are not imperialist propagandists and support us!  Depends
what sort of people you want on your side, isn' it?
