this is a good example of why we need pgp signatures on messages. I
would tend to not believe either of of them without confirming them.
After all, any post that involves a "Detweiler may be right" idea,
regardless of the context, is certainly not something most people would
say. And the other post just seems to be odd - someone who, for all
intents and purposes, tends to have a functional brain, claiming that the
government takes from him to give to "people of color" is overlooking the
fact that the government will give money to anyone who labels themself as
"disadvantaged" regardless of race, religion, favorite flavor of ice
cream, etc. Anyway, who are any of us to speak of nationalities anyway?
dont we all look the same, ie. user at site.domain? I havent seen anyone
start using white-user at site.domain, black-user at site.domain,
asian-user at site.domain, etc. Anyway, what do other people's motives
matter anyway? this list is for cryptography last I checked. And for
every person who chooses to use it in a bad(pick a context) way, there is
probably someone who wants to use it in a good(pick a context) way.
anyway, enough ranting and raving. does the fact that I posted (a
rarety) now qualify me for membership in the hidden-agenda tentacle club?
