See, John? That's how one properly invokes Dave!
RE: Evil--I think, Larry, that your (and my) definition of evil is
markedly different from the definition supported by our Appointed Theocrat
Lil' Bush. Even Reagan's reference to The Evil Empire (continuing his Star
Wars motiff) resonates differently from Dubya's casual use of "evil" to
decry anyone who opposes America, the One Nation Under God.
Not that the DPRK isn't a problem in its own right, but the current
escalation from crisis-in-the-background to catastrophe-waiting-to-happen
seems truly to have resulted from the policies of the current
administration, rather than from the actions of the prior admin.
Dave!
