Point the first, I doubt if they are trying to change Rumsy's mind but
|
|
rather to show others that there is a vocal and violent opposition to his
|
|
views. With such flagrant showings of opposition there would be more
|
|
coverage of the opposing ideas and thus the spreading of the dissenting
|
|
meme. A viri need not comply with the wishes of the attacked host, rather
|
|
the host had better make some antibodies or learn to adapt.
|
|
|
|
Point the second. Historicaly the "in yer face" mode of confrontation has
|
|
been used to gain popular support and to grow from seeds "grass roots"
|
|
movements. Witness the big bold "in yer face" signature of Hancock on the
|
|
"in yer face" Declaration of the american colonies to the governing
|
|
powers of england. Witness also the chicago seven, Others will follow in
|
|
examplare form upon digging.
|
|
|
|
Now point the third, is it annoying? Yes, and if your annoyed then the "in
|
|
yer facers" have done thier job. Sad to say the polite persnikiters are
|
|
teh very fule the "in yer facers" hope to ignite. If your burning, your
|
|
being used.
|
|
|
|
Pointed the personal...The politics of the polite are more often the
|
|
refuge of backstabings, closed mouth recourlessness and hypocritcal
|
|
behavoirs. Id rather hear what those who oppose me have to say than
|
|
quietly be knifed by the slow hand of the coward.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Seek not the polite or impolite but rather the reasons why.
