an open letter:

Dear Tim,

   In your attack on myself and jrf, you did just what you
accused both of us of doing.  Attacking, without understanding
what we were trying to say.  The quote that you pulled out of
my article was a tail end comment directed in general, not necessarily
toward you.  The gist of the article was a response to your statement
that unless there was "substatial evidence" (or something like that),
you would oppose laws...etc..etc...which I understand.  I just can't
believe your logic.  From your article in defense of smokers' rights,
I concluded that you were a smoker.  An obvious conclusion, since you
did not state that you were a non-smoker.

   Frodo is not a "half-witted, deformed little beast".  I think you
will find many people that will disagree with you.  If you want to attack
me, attack ME.  I put my real name in the articles.  There is no reason
to attack a Hobbit.

   In your attack you argue that you are against restricting the
"liberties" of anyone, in spite of the fact that there is a general
consensus.  Gee, there is a general consensus that murder is not
appreciated.  You must feel that there should be no laws restricting
anyone's "liberty" or "right" to murder, even though most people
feel that murder is bad.  I agree with you on one thing (yes AGREE),
that people should not be restricted in their liberties and freedoms.
I differ from you in that I do feel liberties and rights should be
restricted when they infringe upon the freedoms and rights of others.
For example the right to life, or the right to breath CLEAN AIR, etc.


		nuff for now...
