Insulting? Not at all. It's an intellectual challenge every time I disagree
to MalignD, Rob or Terrance. I love to read their posts. Actually and in
general the P-List gives me much fun in troubled times (politically and
personally).

Disagreeing to your extremism ["post-9-11 "fascistic disposition" of the
Bush Administration"] is so easy. In your statement you present as a given
fact what in fact is in question. All that is the case is that some believe
he is, others believe he isn't.
