Thanks Hutch, you just made my day:

Actually you're correct in this, but if you'll reread my statment I think that
you'll find that it's a flame against 'red' filters .

Media?, media? We don't need no stinkin'...  .
Putting a label/colour on a group doesn't really mean much unless that group
accepts it.

How? By putting *MY* ass on the line, that's how.

Sorry 'bout that.  But I though that you'd read the original article.  Anyway
the extra phrase was a flame against ~~"people who *THINK* that they live
in a ...."~~ (empahsis added).

RIGHT on!!

Not a bad idea, but wait until I have my M1 loaded before you implement it,
I need some target practice (Lebanon is a perfect example of a 'pure' anarchy.
Did you know that there are 170+ different factions involved in their Civil
War?).
