Gav, Platt,
Hear hear Gav.
I'd just like to point out that even those of us with enough wisdom to
know we are fools, find Platt's contributions frequently infuriating
(the wiser ones ignore it, I know). But Platt do you not see that
throwing "you liberals" back at another INDIVIDUAL like Khaled, about
whose mind-set and politics I know nothing, says more about you than
him. (Anything you know about him is in your head, not his.)
I must read Arlo's post.
