Mine is as easy to obtain as any of the others.

I am not interested.  Your name has been added to my message rules as a "delete
it" rule.

I cannot help but wonder what you are trying to achieve.  Will the people you
send these messages to suddenly come around to your way of thinking?  If not,
then the only intention can be to inflame.

Personally, I am neutral as to all political affairs.  I am neither for the war
nor against it.  I am neither for Bush nor against him.  I don't like killing
and I refuse to kill other people myself (as a personal decision) but I don't
presume to know the solutions to world problems and do not vote as a matter of
choice.

I suggest that if you do want to talk about this topic and are actually
interested in feedback, then the CTF forum:
http://www.talkchess.com/forums/2/index.html

is a logical place to discuss it.  I think that the anger and vitriol aimed at
other people is tragic like the death of people involved in the conflict (on
both sides).  I am sad to see people seething at one another.  To me, the lack
of unity is just more proof that human beings are totally unable to govern
themselves.
