    Interesting. I checked Snopes which says nothing about this which doesn't mean it is a real government document, but at least suggest that it hasn't been identified as not being one, yet. The document is pretty accurate of course, but it tends to make little or no distinction between right-wing groups and individuals and extremist right-wing groups and individuals. Of course, to some one on the far left, anyone even slightly right of center appears to be an extremist. Essentially is presents the Dailey Kos's P.O.V with, apparently, the backing of what I consider to be potentially, the most dangerous arm of the Federal Government.

Abbott wrote: Do you feel it is a little macabre creating a computer game that depicts an unfortunate series of incidents that resulted in US Military losing lives? While the military's mission is not to die for their country but to make the other S.O.B's died for theirs, nonetheless their job is to put their lives on the line, regardless of SNAFUs, REMFs, or Murphy. "With your shield, or on it," was the goodbye blessing of Roman mothers to their sons when going off to war (Soldiers running away usually threw the large Roman shield away in order to move more quickly; casualties were often carried off the battlefield in their own shield.) The men involved in the Battle of Mogadishu lived up to the expectations we have always had of warriors, especially the Nighthawks that hovered over the trapped Rangers all night. Not to celbrate their heroism - while carefully not exculpating those who made foolish or uniformed decisions - would be a sad state of affairs.

    John Carson wrote: Perhaps it rates well over Easter. No doubt, but I never saw first run commercials when for an old religious based movie like the 10 Commandments. As I recall in times past it was local lawyer, and local car dealership commercials. I was impressed that they thought they would get a high market share because; * Shows that are religious based would be anathema to commercial TV * It's guarantee to offend someone (not PC) who will write a letter to the network or commercial sponsor threatening a boycott. * Charleston Heston is the epitome of the liberal satan by his actions in his later years that he would never get a play anyway... just thought it a bit interesting.

To do that adequately, without merely stating an opinion, I would have to research the evidence, which would take time I cannot currently spare from being retired. :) The path has been well worn by the Oz vs USA posts, and I have nothing to add.

In Norwich, a city set in a rural area, a large shopping mall was excavated, using navvies from outside the area. They taught the locals how to 'really' brawl. The navvies are gone, but the escalated level of violence in late night brawls remains. Bob Emmett
