Members who find few, if any, to agree with them outside of the Internet, find deep solace in the choirs of uncritical support they get from a few lists, and from the few who contribute regularly to those very small but very mutual admiration societies. The final measure of "agreement" is their willingness to expel any conflicting views, particularly if conflicts arise over "fundamental" matters. Never mind, for example, that one liberty group encourages "democracy" for America, when the supreme Law clearly calls for a Republic instead. Those who would point out such a flaw are put in dire jeopardy by all manner of ad hominem and personal invectives. If that treatment doesn't silence them, forced removal from the email list will surely do the job; never mind that the list was, and remains, open to the public: just enter "SUBSCRIBE" in the subject line. /s/ Paul Mitchell ======================================================================== Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. : Counselor at Law, federal witness email: [address in tool bar] : Eudora Pro 3.0 on Intel 80586 CPU web site: http://www.supremelaw.com : library & law school registration ship to: c/o 2509 N.
