From: Dale Thorn, who hasn't a clue [on why the cpunks of late haven't discussed children's point of view]: Not lately? And why is that? Don't know, Dale. Would everyone please send a message to Dale, explaining why you haven't been discussing this? -- [on the possibility that abused children might be helped by the uses of encryption]: How is an abused child going to be helped by encryption? Why are you on this list, Dale? -- [on why, as I said, "empathy with children is not borne of government, but of a normal state of mind"]: That's just rhetoric. What normal state of mind? Takes one to know one, Dale. -- [on going out to alt.philosphy.objectivism to evoke detailed discussions of pertinence to his interest in benefitting from government programs]: In other words, if it doesn't offer something for me, the selfish adult, I don't wanna hear it. I'm not *obliged* to hear, it Dale. .. Blanc
