I don't disrespect you, Albert. Never have, never will.
What frustrates me is the gulf between what I perceive to be your potential as a deep political thinker and your failure to realize it.
Your post above, against which I reacted so strongly, is a painful representation of that gulf.
For whatever it's worth, Albert, I wouldn't take the time to engage in this exchange if I didn't respect you.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
