I agree, this has no place on this list...

I grew up under the shadow of a *real* threat... nuclear armageddon.  A
real country with real nuclear missles pointed at us.  I had to make a
decision, as many of us faced, which was, WHAT will you do when you know
you have seven hours to live?

No, because they will not release it.

They took nothing away.  MY freedom is MY freedom.  If the government
thinks taking those freedoms away to protect me is a good thing, then...
they are wrong.

I used no quotes from anybody.

Rant respected.  And anonymous?  Not quite.  My email address is a
sub-address of the domain through which I make my living.  I am not 
afraid to take a stand.  True, "go to hell" is insulting, and for that I 
  am penitent.  "my country right or wrong" is also Wrong.  For that, I 
am not apologetic.  Right is what you stand for, Wrong, is what you seek 
to dispell.

Please, my apologies to all of you who suffer this non-Audi drivel in 
the morning at work... this is NOT the place to conduct this sort of debate.

And, Emre, I realize we have a difference of opinion, unearthed by 
Brett's inappropriate post.  If we need to contuniue this discussion, 
let us do it in "private."  I will, out of judicious desire for pleasant 
conduct, let you have the last word in this forum.  Any further reply I 
will not suffer the list to endure.  That's not why we subscribe.
