I have no idea wether he did it or not, but you people in the IAHC
should realize that people, when faced with having everything taken
from them, when faced with the loss of 18 months hard work because a
socialist politboro took a simple mandate (polish up Draft-Postel a
little) and cranked out one of the most offensive pieces of totalitarian
crap that the world has ever seen, people will tend to fight back to
save their livelyhood and hard work.

I know that, if someone really took away everything that I had and did
it for some liberal political cause, that I would go out in a blaze of 
glory, taking as many of them with me as possible. 

You people on the ad-hoc cmte will just have to watch your back. When
you perpetrate an act of opression on people, you have to expect them
to be mad, as some may go to extremes. Perhaps you ought to hire the
same people who guard Saddam Hussein - he seems to have survived alot
of hit attempts.

Happy New Year
