	There you go again Steve.  I was with you until you threw in your
	favorite hate, catch-all word.  Why do you still insist on calling
	everything you dislike 'facist'?  Do you call a skunk a facist if
	it sprays you?  Did you call your parents facists if they told you
	you couldn't have the car for the night?  Please come off this facist
	everything kick and reserve the word for where it is really needed.
	Everything left of dead left is NOT facist.  Look up the word and
	use it right.

Ahem, it need only be stated that my use of the word "facist" here was
entirely appropriate.  For the record, I believe this is the first time I
have ever used this word, so calling it my "favorite" is jumping the gun
a bit, wouldn't you say?  And, to belabor the obvious to everyone who has
seen my previous postings, I do not call everything I dislike "facist."
It has little to do with the current left<-->right political polarity.
I was using the word in the colloquial sense of a group trying to impose
its own private standards of behavior upon all of society regardless of
the feelings of society as a whole.
