Well, whether I need my spectacles adjusted or am ensnared in solipsism, I 
still can't tell when you're being hortatory versus observational.  This all 
goes back to your memorable NYO comment:  "Clearly, considerable use of 
force will have to be used to capture these motherfuckers."  That stark 
comment, especially in the context of that silly NYO article, seems an 
urgent *call* for vigilante justice.  Are you saying it was merely a 
*forecast* of our inevitable recourse to idiotic, counterproductive 
violence, given US outrage?
