That’s interesting. I haven’t followed anything Steve wrote since I was banned from RFM, like, I dunno, 15 years ago. I’m sorry to hear he and his wife are or were having difficulties. - Doc Banned? Goodness, what happened? You don't have to answer that though. I dunno. It was a long time ago. I wa...

American Conservatism is just making up a scenario, and then being upset about it. - Doc What scenario might that be?

Yes, but there were plenty of civilian casualties in German and Japanese cities that were caused by the Allied Powers. The math, those times, was magically deemed acceptable...

It kind of appears like you do. I mean, existential terror and social death aside. - Doc I have qualified what I said in what I think are appropriate and responsible ways.
