ORIGINAL: farglebargle So, for the record, you're not denouncing his violent rhetoric? Gotta love you fargie. You are such the poster child for the fringe. One minute you're backing violent rhetoric, the next condemning it, and choosing which way you go based solely upon the party from which it originates. I'm looking at your sig line. Just how does a civilization fall? What hell of a show are we in for? Try Edward Gibbon, _The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire_ for starters. So you're just a history buff. You're not running around acting half crazed and angry with a signature line that follows the line of crazed and angry. Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. I wouldn't say I'm just a history buff. You asked what to expect, I gave you a reference to a good starting point. You can then check out Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel for another aspect of the situation. Also, despite being genre-fiction, check out "Lucifer's Hammer" by Pournelle and Niven.... Don't project your own insecurities into my signature line. Shit... Even the Grateful Dead echoed the sentiment, "I may be going to hell in a bucket, but at least I'm enjoying the ride...."
