GREEAATT!!! I thought this article was just another example of Rectumhead's unique ability to emit flatus in ascii.(Calling Ken an ass would only in- sult many respectable donkeys worldwide.) As far far as the effectiveness of Ken's anti-movement movement, he is living proof that the plan wouldn't work. After tolerating more than a year's worth of this fellow's net.flame articles, I can only deduce that he's pretty backed up himself. I realize that he probably emits some rosy things in other areas, but it gets a bit tedious when he keeps using this group for his outhouse. >Not only that, but it was well-written and fun to read.

After reading this passage, the mental image I saw went something like this: One of Monty Python's Gumbies is in a phone booth and can't find his way out. Looking up, he see's the ever-present 16 ton weight falling from above. Of course, seeing this makes him laugh until he is crushed to death. If you want to laugh in the face of the firestorm, fine. I just think that entire governments doing the same, thinking that holocaust will never happen, is insane. As long as militant jerks continue to have more respect for their weapons than their fellow man, aggression and strife will continue. >Sometimes humorous comments about these things are simply out of place. I don't mind humorous comments at all. Let's just try not to confuse comments with attitudes. And Ken, try soaking your head in the sink instead of the toilet. Maybe your articles would stay out of the sewer that way. >Comments?* These are mine, if they offend anyone they were probably meant to. Flames tolerated, as usual. -- Chris Harrison
