I don't know if you were trying to be funny or what, but this is in
utter bad taste, and I'm disappointed to see such paranoid-dripping
tripe coming out of anybody who claims to be a libertarian. I share
most of the libertarian views of the people on this mailing list,
including some paranoia about what the government is doing, but this
is ridiculous. People died, lots of people including 17 CHILDREN, and
if the evidence points to a right-wing group as being the perpetrators
of this montrosity, then they should be rounded up, tried, and if
found guilty then fried. This kind of action CANNOT BE TOLERATED. So
why don't you just lay off the lame speculating until we have seen
some of the evidence in the case. Instead of letting your paranoia
control you why don't you let your mind be your guide? You're
guaranteed to make less of an ass out of yourself.
