Did it occur to anyone that perhaps there is an ongoing effort at perhaps
enhancing this point of view? Many wars are fought with guns and bombs and
people's lives, some wars are fought with lies. The United States has been
in a state of perhaps undeclared war for some time with a group of people
who are trying to pervert the ideas of the fundamental principles of the US
constitution. The Constitutional preamble starts "We the people..." not "We
the politicians..." for good reason. Anyway, it isn't Classic Computers so
it doesn't belong here. But the war is real, we saw an interesting battle
in November did we not?
