I see T.C. is a great believer in taking his own advice. See how well he
ignored Laurie because she didn't agree with his viewpoint? Laurie, at
least, was able to keep from using crude words in trying to get her point
across, too. Must we all drop down to Don Black's level and use character
assasination as a debating tool?

I find it really amazing that the net can sit by and let someone like Don
Black spout fascist racism, and come down hard on anyone who disagrees with
it. That is an amazing double standard. If Black can say what he likes,
then everyone else (including laurie) should be given the same right, even
if it happens to disagree with your own pet theories. Or are all those
wonderful people supporting Black's right to be an idiot simply using free
speech as a quiet way of supporting the words and the meanings?
