		Re: Response to Misinformation (Some other perspectives on the tragedy)
(...) <snipped your reply to Richard> Regardless, we can all agree that killing the innocent for the sins of the leadership is wrong.

		Have you hugged a terrorist today? (was: A Measured Response...)

		Re: Response to Misinformation (Some other perspectives on the tragedy)
(...) I don't think anyone is saying we should kill innocents. Official statements refer to "those responsible". However, regrettably some collateral damage is unavoidable. As a side note: when did this notion of "killing the innocent" in war arise? (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: British railway industry (was Re: UK devolved government (was Harry Potter but who remembers that?)

I agree, inasmuch as we're talking about privatization in practice, not theoretical Libertarian privatization, which I would agree would function more effectively than the half-assed privatization Railtrack represents (but, I would also argue, (...)

		Re: Bummer of the Week: LEGO Made in China

		Re: Cuba
