aw. RE: aw. RE: aw. RE: aw. RE: Why did Elser plant the bomb?

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Gill,

1) I'm a sociologist.

2) I left behind the "cosmopolitic illusion" (Chantal Mouffee) which
makes me a left nationalist; I vote what your TV-stations call 'communist'.

3) To consider "pysical fittness a mission of the state" is indeed fascist.

4) The 14-baby-lady got them from irresponsible bio-technologists.

5) You're allowed to enjoy any art you prefer, but please don't tell me what
my preferences should look like. You know, many people think GR to be crap.

6) I would like to know more about Cryptoville and also where the thousands 
of EU-citizens the CIA did abduct after 9/11 are now, if still alive.
 
7) I've never heard a word here on Guantanamo or Abu Ghuraib.
 
8) In this country's history we had enough people "pumping their fists in the 
air with joy" in political contexts. But if you feel that need, just go ahead
and visit a concert or a soccer game. 
 
9) I have a thing for whips.
 
10) I believe there is a canon.
 
 
Yours in discourse,
Kai
