Well done Kaz my man, your persistance has paid off. Congratulations are in order. One down, a couple hundred million to go. But be warned, your time on this Earth is limited, so you better pick up the pace a bit.
Liberator, I understand where you're coming from, and for the most part I agree. I'm all for frank and open discussion about whatever, but when every single damn thread becomes a firing range for political idealogy, its gets tiresome. My only advice to you is to learn to take it in stride, and realize that comsically speaking, what some guy on the Net says and thinks isn't really of much concern to anyone. Life's too short to get upset every time someone calls you a fascist or a fundamentalist or whatever. I'm as opposed to the policy decisions of the US as anyone, but shouting it from the top of my e-lungs isn't going to change anyone's mind and evidently, its has a tendency to piss people off. Don't let it get to you, after all, its just words.
