   So you are using the "they are as bad as we are" argument.   
      
   One movement believes in central planning, controlling industry   
   including the distribution of profits, control the churches,   
   controlling education, controlling the press, and every aspect   
   of your lives because they are the anointed and know better   
   that you do.   
      
   The other movement is live and let live.   
      
   One believes in Gleichschaltung -- God help you if you attempt to leave   
   the plantation.  Conform or else!   
      
   The other believes in the free and open exchange of ideas and   
   information.  A herd mentality can not survive in this kind   
   of movement.   
      
   Yup, they are as bad as we are.   
      
   You need to practice what you preach and think a little.   
      
   Is your MASA hat adjustable?
