Speaking of trolls...

Frank's post was so reasonable, so even-handed as to almost be void of
interesting comment.  At face value, and as history has taught us again and
again -- taking out a single city is manifestly unimportant in the grand
scheme of things.

Please cite for me examples in history where the taking out of a capital by a
nuclear weapon has been manifestly unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

Would we like it?  Heck no.  Would it end our society as
we know it?  Heck no.

So, let me get this straight-- you assert that the obliteration of Washington
D.C. with a nuclear bomb wouldn't end our society as we know it.  Are you
daft???

In case you hadn't noticed: we are a country and not a single city.  And a
rather large country too.

I sort of take exception with your response because it does really feel like
an obvious troll.  I really cannot fathom why anyone would take your
position.

Maybe because you gave it about 9 nanoseconds consideration....

Decapitating the mere symbols of our republic is hardly the same
thing as decapitating the republic itself.

I didn't say merely the symbols, but in any event, what *would* be an example
of decapitating the republic in your view?

Further, the events of 911 have
taught us that while many people can be hit at once -- you aren't getting
them all. Lots of people survive these events at the same time that, sadly,
many do not.

Seriously -- why don't you just be quiet for a short while?  Think about the
nonsense you routinely post.

Who has the time?  It's all I can do keeping up with your posts that you have
no intention of posting!

(...) No that would not end our society as we know it. It would go a long way toward restoring the government though. At the very least we should try to go back to the pre-FDR days. Ask your grandparents about how the elected representatives used (...) (22 years ago, 24-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
