RE: [Marxism] Marxism and Conspiracy

["Austin, Andrew" <austina@xxxxxxxx>]

David,

I didn't respond to your first post, in which you had the rational side
opposite the other, because I didn't see the benefit.  Actually, I typed
one out, but then deleted it, saying "fuck it" to my cat who was looking
at my fingers at the time (he's interested in keyboards, cursors, and
printers).   I will respond to this one since you used my name and
because its hateful character needs some sort of acknowledgement.  Your
posts have so far been useless, this one especially.  It's clear you
don't see the reasonable side to all this or you would not have aimed
your "chill outs" and "spouting offs" at me.  Therefore, I don't see how
your posts will be any more useful in the future.  I will not allow you
to drag me any further into the flame war you desire by ignoring your
taunts from this point forward.  But I do want to add that if you're
going to use a salutation in referring to me, it's Dr. Austin. "Comrade"
is facetious given the poison nature of your post - which is to say,
"fraternal spirit," my ass.  If you were actually a friend you would
call me what everybody else does: Andrew.  

Andrew

Mr./Comrade Austin:
My advice to you is to chill and reflect before you speak.
    You must be very young indeed not to realize how wrong your
assumptions about the Vietnam War and the "lies that were used to lead
the US" into it are. Ditto the Tonkin Gulf charade, a Democrat scam no
different from anything the Bushgang has cooked up (and which, true to
form as the historic party of war, the Democrats have endorsed from the
gitgo).  All kinds of us, even young students like myself at the time,
saw through this phony justification for bombing the shit out of North
Vietnam. You are not even comparing apples and oranges. Assuming you are
too young to have lived through the Vietnam period, have you ever
researched it before jumping to conclusions?  The same goes for your
many posts on 9/11.
    I mean these comments in a fraternal spirit. Try perhaps to shed
light rather than merely spouting off?
David
