I expected to hear more responses like this one. I thought liberals 
were a peace-loving lot. At least I've never threatened to kick 
anyone's ass, Marxian or otherwise, just because they disagreed with 
me. I think I WILL stay the hell away from your community. But I 
won't reciprocate in kind the hostility and ill will you communicate 
in your posting. But I will defend your right to be hostile, if you 
will defend my right to wear Armani suits and collect expensive wine 
(as decadent and "selfish" as that may be). Best wishes to your 
peace loving community.
