Dear Ms. Luxembourg,

Hope that you will excuse my presumption of appending the famous
last name in the hope that it is the same as yours.

The idiocy heightens with your expressive vocabulary ("scurrilous,groundless,
scandalous,slanderous,insinuation"). You also accuse me being a
"professional apologist for the professional apologists for political
murder" when what I did was point out some of the Nazi-type vocabulary
and language ("cockroaches", "extermination") that the "left"
intelligentsia (Mr. Casey and Mr. Dumain) were using. If a new person
heard this type of language from the "left" intellectuals, where would
this person place them, on the "left" or on the "right"?  If you are
truly interested in political murder, I would seriously urge you to
take a look at some UN statistics which show that 20-25 million
human beings die each year due to hunger, disease, poverty, wars and other
preventable causes. Would you consider this to be political murder?
The more one follows the discussions on this list, the more and more
the bankruptcy of the western left intellectuals reveals itself. Adios.
