and what evil was that again?

Of course, she actually manned a gun that could have killed a US soldier for a photo-op, as opposed to Penn's support of a different kind of evil. Actually, it was an NVA anti-aircraft battery in Hanoi, which could conceivably have killed a US airman with an untrained operator at the controls, but the closest US soldiers would have been a few hundred miles away, a bit of a stretch even had she fired over level ground. I'm intrigued, though, that you assert that La Fonda was supporting a "kind of evil" (which you distinguish from Penn's pronouncements on behalf of Chavez). Those anti-aircraft guns were, after all, employed for the purely defensive purposes of shooting down bombers which the world's wealthiest, most technologically advanced predatory empire had sent to rain high explosives onto the Vietnamese capital and environs. Was it evil for the Vietnamese to shoot at them? I do not believe you have thought this through. cordially,

The broad basis of both regimes is to promote assisting the ignored and actively displaced Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 55 years. meep

Ok Rand, I'm not that stupid to look adoringly at his opponents, and yes, I've been watching for years both the good and bad he's done. I LOVE his music schools! #2 - Ok, I was wrong on the exacts of Jane. Like I said, NOW I KNOW, ie: now I understand the feeling, or at least a bit of it, but I don't really claim to truly "know", ok, more of an emotional response which I will admit to. #3 - No, not is hue. His active engagement of every possible piece of politics and theatre to cause us (US in general, but not just) pain, and in doing so, he loudly supports dictators actively killing their own. At least when we do that (with the Sauds), our support is more ashamed, and obviously a political ploy for the betterment of OUR people. In his case, his external ventures do not help his poor people, hell, he takes money from them and gives it to the poor in the US (in the form of fuel subsidies) just to fuck with our own government (yes, I did enjoy when he did that to Bush). Am I so stupid that you think I am jingoistically ranting against him? Have you ever seen me rattle the jingoes without at least an attempt at a decent logical backing?
