Dear Anonymous,

Why do you keep your identity such a secret?  If you truly believe what
ideologies you are trying to convert us too, then be honest with the rest
of us who have freely identified ourselves, and tell us who you are.

Because as it stands, your information is not credible.  The source is
unknown.  Many of us are professionals in our fields and stand by our
observations and recommendations with pride.  Maybe it is time for you do
the same.

It is hard to tell if you are just having fun with us, or if you mean,
what you say.  There are many people out there who use false names and the
conceal their identities as they try to invoke anger and CHAOS
into the arena of a newgroup for their own selfish gratification.  That is
as close to POWER as they will ever get, I guess.  These individuals fall
into a similar category as those individuals who produce computer viruses
inducing chaos on computer networks and anger from its owners.  You will
also find that many of these individuals don't have much of a social life
at the moment and take out their pent up hosilities on the group.

Don't be ashamed to defend your opinions in this forum as long as it is
OBJECTIVE and can be defended with "real life situations".

I truly hope you do not base all of your opinions on the TV shows or
movies you watch which are mostly FICTIONAL accounts.  You might want
to expose yourself more to the political arena by getting involved in
politics DIRECTLY before passing such a judgmental statement on a
subject of which you have no data.  Try field research, it may open your
eyes to the reality that exists as seen by the norm of society.  We would
THEN be interested in hearing your findings.

Many of us are social scientists and are looking for answers
ourselves.  True, many opinions may be controversial, but we are here to
DISCOVER what would create the most dynamic and PROGRESSIVE society for
the 21st century.

If that is not your intention, you may want to seek another newsgroup.
