Perfectly understandable, Jim.
I am not calling into question the obvious value of your contributions to our shared struggle.
Points taken.
But your earlier assurance that "it will be a war" for Dealey Plaza seems at variance with your -- in my opinion -- more accurate statements to the effect that, carrying forward the "war" metaphor, we are out-manned and out-gunned.
When the fellow who proposes utilization of the "three-finger" gesture (something about one digit per official shot fired) as a viable form of weaponized propaganda (my term, not his) in Dealey Plaza tried to make his case on DPF, I laughed him out of the room. Or at least I tried to.
Others thought it to be just a ripping idea!
Out of my utmost respect for our comrade Bill Kelly, I refrained from commenting on the merits of his endorsement of letter writing/petition signing initiatives.
And through it all, I might add, I have been privately, repeatedly, and at times almost violently vilified by otherwise bold and insightful comrades who want no part of my "fucking war."
And just what have I accomplished?
Please know that when I take to task the Dealey Plaza Irregulars for any number of failures to win battles, let alone the war, I count myself among the most culpable.
For whatever that may mean to you.
