First, there is no honest reason why people of differing opinions can't get along. If others have problems with me having my own beliefs, I won't force them to live my way, but they must respect my own choices too. The major p= oint here, though, is a historical one: appeasement does not work, and even the attempt leads to problems. The point is, no sane person really believes that Beastie equates to devil worship, and I don't like the idea of letting crazies dictate my life. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
