Nope...don't agree...I liked the message the person was getting across...I
didn't want to share it wih the debators...I would consider that a useless
action in most cases...I wanted to share it with the populace of LUGNET who
would appreciate the words...it was the taking offense at a 200 year old
piece of history that caused this to be a debate...a useless debate, arguing
the semantics of a message written by a person still proud of their
country...a message I mostly agree with, but find myself unable to commit to
words...

Nonsense...flag waving is getting many folks through this tradgedy...seen TV
today? Heard the calls for every American to fly the flag, to show our
solidarity? It is exactally the differences between different nations that
makes us who we are...I for one, while I realize that it COULD work, hope to
never see a united world government...not only for the Biblical aspects of
the end times, but for the loss of the individuality that makes us who we are...
The only place I draw anything near the lines you speak of is this...I
believe that the human race is exactally that...one race of same beings,
none better than the other in physical, mental, or any other way...and human
beings simply should not visit the kind of death and violence we've seen on
each other...dare I agree with others and say that those who would aren't
truly human?
> Go earth!
Go America, and God bless us all!
Go human race, and sorrow unite us all!
Go individuals, and truth guide us all!
