Please tell us Carlos:
Would the rest of the world be happier if we just caved in to radical Islam
and all wore burkas. Which Islam would that be, Shiite....we'd get suicide
bombed by the radical Kurds, Sunni....we'd get suicide bombed by the radical
Shiite's. Which would you prefer? Or would you like us to invite them all
in to the USA and treat them like second class citizens so that they could
work to pay for our retirement and our 6 week holiday on the Riviera like
the French, British and Germans have done?

My friends,
I understand the frustration with folks who do not
understand, embrace or even fight for the principals
of liberty as enjoyed and protected by an honorable society.
It's a difficult concept to grasp by individuals
who are raised and live in an atmosphere of perpetual
victimhood.
There are plenty of blogsites where folks are encouraged
to offer their views of world conditions. Let's not let
this List loose its grip on the mission. I'll encourage
all participants to choose their words so that they
illuminate points of fact and logic in the assembly of
simple-ideas into useful systems.
The single biggest threat to the usefulness of our endeavor
is to pitch mud balls and cabbages at anyone for any reason.
It adds nothing to the mission and discourages folks
from attending to the discussions when they loose
interest or believe they're being attacked. The whole
notion that hatred is justified by anything other than
grossly dishonorable behavior is illogical but
this is not the venue for the discussion. Let's
strive to offer words that expand our knowledge and
understanding of physics and the art of crafting the
best airplanes. But without demeaning others with
pejoratives and imagined or real shortcomings in
personality.
