Me too. Everybody who is sick of the OT posts and the sick, excessive
X-posts should get organized and fight back. Save our newsgroup.

A fight is what you want, eh? I can arrange that.

Fighting never solves anything.

But complaining incessantly about crossposts is surely the best way to
make them go away!

Yeah, look at how that American Revolution turned out. Still under the
Brits thumb.

And the American Civil War, well, that was pointless, right? Might as well
let some states allow slavery, what the heck.

Best of all, here it is the anniversary of D-Day. Now what did that
accomplish, it didn't gt rid of Hitler or stop facism in Europe.

Did it?

And that sig line provides double-bonus irony points.

No. The Russians had virtually done it already.

Fair 'nuff. Still, it means that sometimes fighting *does* solve something.

Which was my point.

But thanks for the correction; my U.S. public school education in the 70s
didn't exactly emphasize the Soviet Union's contributions to world peace.

Stalin wasn't exactly contributing to world peace. In fact he not only was
responsible for more murders than Hitler, he was personally doing a lot
of them himself. It's known fact that Hitler and Stalin had a secret deal to
jointly take over the world, and Hitler betrayed Stalin, wishing to be #1
himself, so Stalin was basically retaliating. Meanwhile back at the ranch,
a horde of Jewish scientists came to the U.S. hoping to utilize American
wealth and industrial capabilities to manufacture atomic bombs to use on
Germany, (see Richard Rhodes- "The Making of the Atomic Bomb"),
boy were they disappointed when Germany collapsed and we used it on
Japan... of course the American government was too naive to realize
the Jewish scientists were burning both sides of the candle, and were
freely sharing nuclear secrets with their fellow Jewish scientists in the
Soviet Union, paving the way for the "Cold War" which caused more
international terror and wasted capital investment than any intentional
act in the history of the world. The good side was modern physics and
nuclear energy coming from all that...
Regarding U.S. public school education, in social studies and
history- true, like most school agendas around the world, grade school
studies are half fact, half nationalistic propaganda, but one nice thing
about America is that far more advanced source materials in history are
available to anyone who wishes to research more deeply, unlike most
Communist and socialist countries, where authentic sources of history
are suppressed and destroyed.
