You speak to your friends in this way? How *terrible* for them.

So we start from the assumption that Carlo Giuliani -- he had a name
and a family and was a real person, no matter that you pretend
otherwise -- *deserved* to be shot twice, in the *head*, from very
close range, and then *run over* by a police vehicle? Interesting.

Yeah, so? That justifies shooting him like a dog? And then running
over his lifeless body? *Please*; that defies imagination.

Well, that's *precisely* the point. Why, if you realize that shooting
someone in these circumstances is unjustifed, do you turn around and
act as if it was no big deal?

Ah, so you have a generalized bias against all Italians. That's a
shame since the Italian gov't apologized for the murder and is
promising an investigation.

Well, if this were a Libertarian Ayn Rand Prayer Meeting, that would
be *really* interesting and maybe even relevant; in the present
context, however, what the fuck are you jabbering about?

Which ideas would those be?

No, there's no hope that you aren't blathering irrelevat gibberish,
I'm afraid.

There also appears to be no shortage of stupid and strange things you
will say to avoid facing the facts, including the fact that Italy's
paramilitary police just spent three days beating, torturing, gassing,
and harassing non-violent protesters. What does any of your gibberish
have to do with *that*?

I'm opposed to capital punishment; oops, looks like you struck out

Blah, blah, blah -- cue the American flag whipping in the wind and the
soft tunes, swelling in crescendo, of Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Gee, now you sound like a Stalinist. How do you go from Ayn Rand to
Stalin so quickly without whiplash?

So my understanding is inseparable from my prejudices and
sensibilities, or my prejudices and sensibilities are inseparable from
each other... Wait, oh, you meant that as some sort of *insult* --
next time, just so you know, insults and slaps are much more effective
if they're *coherent*. Just FYI.

You're such a cliche. I've gotten 30 messages very much like yours in
the past day or so, and they're all from loopy right wing geegaws, and
they *all* put on this faux concern and bonhomie. Do all you twerps
read from the same Ayn Rand Handbook or what?
