That's interesting, Psycho III. Of my postings lately, several
(or even most) have been on the struggle to save the Barseb=E4ck
nuclear power plant here in Sweden against the reactionaries'
closing-down attempt. Last time you attacked me too, in
August 1996, wasn't a main reason that I *defended* nuclear
energy? A somewhat earlier posting by you at that time
clearly seemed to indicate that.

Am I right?

Another question - the other question, as far as "general
politics" is concerned - that I've written about lately
has been the liberation struggle in Congo/Zaire. Since
last November I've been supporting Kabila's AFDL there
and attacking the view that they're US lackeys.

In your opinion, is that wrong too?

I shall pass over (almost) in silence your idiocies,
Psycho III, about how these things are all due to some
"personal problems" of mine or even - what was it? - "thinking
only of myself" etc etc. They don't seem to need more comment
than stating that they reflect on *your* "problems", which
of course are not really your personal ones but are those
of that bad old bourgeoisie.

And, as I've already written recently, nothing more from
me just now on the question of cops.

Well, one more thing:

How on earth could I reasonably be said to be "destroying
this list"??
