Democratic Left_ list (UFT)

[Wojtek Sokolowski]

I think it is a very sensible request.  Unfortunately, many people
(especially US males) use the anonymity of internet to dumpt the
pathetic contents of their pea-brains.  The messages on Yahoo boards
connected to their news service is a case in point.  Sometimes I browse
it to see what's on th eminds of American people with college education
(I think these the people who have the capacity to participate in thes
exchanges) - and that is a scary world indeed.   Here as some recent
quotations:

 
Becasue they are willing to die for something, as opposed to you
pathetic liberals. (sent by daisycutterblu82, age 32, Denver, CO)

 
No, I just hate liberals enough to line you all up and take a M60 to
your asses. (sent by geobronc/ male no age or location)

 
So Hillary is a chickenhawk? Yak yak yak another dirty hippy blowing hot
air and throwing around ad-hominem attacks. You silly lefties are so
predictable. Let me guess do you support Arafat and the oppressed
peoples of Palistine? I can't own a gun, but you support Saddam owning a
nice pile of nuclear warheads.  (another gem sent by the prolific
daisycutterblu82 of Denver, CO).

 
wawawawawawawa  (sent by just_crapped_on_a_liberal, real name: George,
age 44, male, Austin TX)

 
and so on and so forth - the cream of the US intelligence at work.

When I tried to sign up for the "Democratic Left" email discussion
group, I received the following message.  I guess to enter their
discussion forum, you have to pass Leo Casey's concept of "Democratic
Left."  I think I'll pass on this one.

In order to ensure productive and friendly dialogue and debate on the
_Democratic Left_ list, and to avoid the acrimony and flame-wars which

desire to join our list. If you tell us who you are, and why you would
like to participate, we will act on your request.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has, and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men
who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without
thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its
waters.
-- Frederick Douglass --
