I'm glad to report that a large number of people have now taken the pledge not to reply to David Sternlight's posts. Remember, replying to David almost never serves any useful purpose -- he is almost totally incapable of admitting he is wrong, and almost everyone disagrees with him already. By replying to him, you simply continue to encourage him to fill the mailing list with junk. Don't feed the Sternlight. Take the pledge. Perry

Interesting view of the truth. Keep up the good work, Metzger. A few more like this and you'll be a spammer. Plonk! David
One recalls the Russian novelist (can't think of his name, the one who wrote _Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch_), who stated that if even 1% of all of the Cheka/KGB's arrest-in-the-middle-of-the-night victims had put up some resistance, and maybe have killed a Chekist before being gunned down..... the whole damn system of Stalinist terror would have unraveled, from the lack of police willingness to die for the greater glory of Mr Stalin. I think this has relevance to the black-ninjas-pretending-that-they're-in-a-Hollywood-script thread about cops making unanounced search warrant services at 4am. I have tremendous admiration for my local LEO's. It's the federales that are the problem, usually.
