I'm glad to report that a large number of people have now taken the
pledge not to reply to David Sternlight's posts.

Remember, replying to David almost never serves any useful purpose --
he is almost totally incapable of admitting he is wrong, and almost
everyone disagrees with him already. By replying to him, you simply
continue to encourage him to fill the mailing list with junk.

Don't feed the Sternlight. Take the pledge.

Interesting view of the truth.

Keep up the good work, Metzger. A few more like this and you'll be a
spammer. Plonk!

One recalls the Russian novelist (can't think of his name, the one who 
wrote _Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch_), who stated that if even 1% 
of all of the Cheka/KGB's arrest-in-the-middle-of-the-night victims had 
put up some resistance, and maybe have killed a Chekist before being 
gunned down..... the whole damn system of Stalinist terror would have 
unraveled, from the lack of police willingness to die for the greater 
glory of Mr Stalin.

I think this has
 relevance to the
black-ninjas-pretending-that-they're-in-a-Hollywood-script thread about
cops making unanounced search warrant services at 4am. 

I have tremendous admiration for my local LEO's.  It's the federales that 
are the problem, usually.
