You only need to realize which discipline your foe is using, then counter
with an appropriate discipline. For example, those who follow the school
of Clausewitz ("War is a wrestling match on a larger scale") can easily be
confounded by countering with Sun Tzu ("One hundred victories in one
hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without
fighting is the most skillful").

Aaaah - but I fear that your hope is a forlorn one, Richard.
This particular brand of total a&&hole has surfaced periodically (pun
intended) throughout the universe that is known as UseNet - and seems to
think that it has a divine right to publish "The Truth" - whether or not
that view of reality has any bearing on the subject at hand, or not.

Job!!! You old cat hair! Great to hear your face again. You really must
show up more often....'tis folks like you that make this group worthwhile
(and fun, too). Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year to you and yours.
Heirloom, old and had to slip one in

Oh yeah, Pat, do all the studying you like.
And, since you are doing a "case" study, I
am sure you can find, at least, one "really

TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES
This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing.
America: The Good Neighbor.
Widespread but only partial news coverage was given
recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from
Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television
commentator. What follows is the full text of his
trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional
Record:

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for

the
Americans as the most generous and possibly the

least
appreciated people on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and
Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the
Americans who poured in billions of dollars and
forgave other billions in debts. None of these
countries is today paying even the interest on its
remaining debts to the United States.
When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956,
it was the Americans who propped it up, and their
reward was to be insulted and swindled on the

streets
of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the
United States that hurries in to help. This spring,

59
American communities were flattened by tornadoes.
Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped
billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now
newspapers in those countries are writing about the
decadent, warmongering Americans.
I'd like to see just one of those countries that
is gloating over the erosion of the United States
dollar build its own airplane. Does any other

country
in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo
Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10?
If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the
International lines except Russia fly American

Planes?
Why does no other land on earth even consider

putting
a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese
technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about

German
technocracy, and you get automobiles.
You talk about American technocracy, and you find
men on the moon - not once, but several times -
and safely home again.
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put

theirs
right in the store window for everybody to look at

.
Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and

hounded.
They are here on our streets, and most of them,

unless
they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting

American
dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.
When the railways of France, Germany and India
were breaking down through age, it was the

Americans
who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad

and
the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them

an
old caboose. Both are still broke.
I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced
to the help of other people in trouble. Can you

name
me even one time when someone else raced to the
Americans in trouble? I don't think there was

outside
help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one
Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get
kicked around. They will come out of this thing

with
their flag high. And when they do, they are

entitled
to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating
over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not

one of
those."
Stand proud, America!
Wear it proudly!!

Heirloom glad you show up considering you are a big XP
driver now.
I return your Merry Christmas and Happy New Year wishes.
I'm off
to sunny Florida next week for Christmas. Maybe talk with
you
after the first of the year (BUT NOT ON THIS THREAD, afraid
I
might get infected with rabies). Ta Ta for now.

Job has heard said, "Two people in every one is a

Now look what you did, OldHillbilly.
This Sugien *Tennager in a box* seems to rattle everyone's cage with his
*artificial* patriotism. The US he is talking about, is a thing of the past.
Ever since this latest edition of leadership in GB we are going down hill or
backwards, not ahead.
To justify his actions, he has to use or censor the media to propagate his
lies as being *legal*.
It is high time for us Americans to realize that fact, because the world
already knows it.
The display of military power doesn't compensate for humane inequities and
the extent of the present volume of terrorism was unduly aggrevated by the
wrongly motivated invasion of Iraq.
To change rhetoric down the course doesn't make it right either
Iraq before the *fall* never was a threat to our freedom, while it now just
might be.
I love this country, my country, but injustice or lies have to be opposed,
simply because we do so ourselves.

The 76, is it the number of posts under this subject?
BTW you may talk to yourself, but don't answer. If you do, it means *trouble
