Friendly smiles
"On April 19 this year, let's do our part to not only commemorate the brave actions of those who resisted at Waco, Lexington, and Warsaw, but vow to continue to spread the word to support resistence to tyranny, whenever it may appear, no matter how disguised it may be in friendly smiles and trappings of patriotism."This quote is from Mary Lou Seymour's [LAotW] Liberty Action News Digest (No.6) Saturday April 16,2005. The links in the quote were added by me. Here are some other links:

De mortuis nihil nisi bene
One should say nothing but good things about people who are dead, as the saying goes. But some could have made bigger efforts during their lifetime to prevent the contrary. I'd rather mourn a person like Terri Schiavo who was a victim of society than the Pope or Andrea Dworkin who were more attackers than anything else. I guess that our Wendy McElroy will have a lot to say about that Andrea who has ceased (d)working against liberty and men. Her husband, who had married her around the time I founded my websites in 1998, but had been her mate for three decades before that, apparently saw enough merits in her. I was about to declare that he should get a medal for that sacrifice, but, you know, he maybe should be blamed too. After all, there are men who subscribe to that rotten agenda of fury-like left-wing feminists, thus committing treason against their own sex, common sense and real progress.Andrea Dworkin may have had an excuse though, for having been born in Camden, New Jersey, which was not an ideal place to develop a more loving personality.
As you can read in "Fucking Andrea Dworking[sic!]: Appreciated by Jason Farnon":
"Though Dworkin neglects to list the S.C.U.M. Manifesto in her extensive bibliography at the end of Intercourse, the spirit of Solanas's mandate is ever-present.
Just as humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy. (The S.C.U.M. Manifesto, p. 67.)"Her anti-Vietnam War protest did not make her peaceful, she was in continuous war, and when with her feminist lawyer friend Catharine MacKinnon she agitated with the result of an infamous Supreme Court decision and even extended her disastrous effect beyond the border into Canada with the same outcome, she blamed "homophobia and sexism" for the result of her own sick activism. She later shed a crocodile tear, saying that she "does not believe in obscenity laws".
She was not "highly evolved" enough and did not have "superior consciousness" enough to deserve a monument. Bon débarras!
"I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." (Dworkin, "Ice And Fire")

MOURNING TERRI SCHIAVO
From April 1, 2005, till today, April 9, 2005, the home page of this portal site had been replaced by a mourning page now archived here. The first day there was no link to the home page from that mourning page. The second day I added one (but Google had already caught and cached the one without a link), and, as I discover only now, in my emotional turmoil, I may have made a mistake. It seems that I linked to a file called oldindex.php, instead of index.php (I changed it now), so that visitors were maybe led to a very old version of the home page, which happened to also show an obituary, but for my deceased friend and sponsor C. Neal Brady.If this was so (it depends on which files were on the server at that moment; when I recently lost my data and in order to have my full website on my PC again, I had downloaded all files from the server and that particular file was with it; I do not know what exactly I had deleted or renamed in the meantime; if I forget or simply omit to make a backup of each slight variant of a page with its date before overwriting it, I cannot determine the exact date of the previous version later, as my FTP program has already automatically put the date of the latest transfer), I apologize for this disorder to my visitors. I will already have been punished by a downfall of traffic figures...
I would like to make a statement regarding my wording on the mourning page, as it may have, if not shocked, at least surprised a few of my readers. I was raised as a Roman Catholic (with some Jewish Orthodox, Masonic Deist, Atheist and other influences thrown in) and I have been a believer till the age of 18, I think, when I definitely turned the Vatican Church my back (my decision doesn't seem to have had much following, considering the brouhaha these days regarding that presumed Pontifex ~~ I can't see THAT many bridges! At least not to the really good, correct and important positions...). So I remembered. And I chose those words on purpose, as they seemed to me to be most apt at consoling Terri's parents and family, to find a way to their hearts.
In this context, I want to draw your kind attention to the following columns added to my site:
- On Terri Schiavo by Jonathan David Morris
- ON TERRI SCHIAVO: A RESPONSE TO JONATHAN DAVID MORRIS by Steven M. Warshawsky
- I'm a Heartless Bastard by Jonathan David Morris
Several of the best links regarding the Schiavo case were previously offered on this site in the following blog posts:
- http://www.butterbach.net/blogs/net/archives/00000201.htm
- http://www.butterbach.net/blogs/net/archives/00000203.htm
- and a column by Wendy McElroy on this site: Pro-Lifers Link Euthanasia to Abortion
I also have saved some more interesting links on the subject on my PC and I intend to add them later, so that you have a larger resource on one spot. As I also have corresponded with friends and authors on the case and expressed my own more private views in email, I will see if I can quote some of it on this same spot too.
