Ferrari Mailing List: Re: OFF TOPIC - The good 'ole chickenhawk argument

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

Dennis,
Your points make sense, although your examples not so much ... but I 
believe what Dr. Steve was trying to explain was that he feels the US 
Government (i.e. the USPS) should provide the service he requires as 
part of the mail service that he already pays for.  What is currently 
provided and what he wants are one in the same, but as things are now he 
has to pay an outside source more money for something he already pays 
for through taxes.

And yes you can have an opinion on war even if you aren't a veteran, but 
it doesn't give you the right to insult someone who has served their 
country and sacrificed themselves for the benefit of the entire country, 
yourself included.  Whether the insult was intended or not it was 
obviously taken as such.  Tough to "read" tone, inflection, etc. in an 
e-mail.
