Ladies and Gentlemen of the List:

ENRIQUE>  [commenting on assorted things about American technology,
arrogance, etc]  Know if you assume the Aryan KKK Whites are responsible
for all the goods of technology developed and marketed by the US then you
nothing but a blind self centered ASS HOLE! The development of science
and technology (thank god) has nothing to do with race or country of
origin.

RICH's $.02>  I agree wholeheartedly with Enrique's second statement; I
disagree with equal wholeheartedness with the assumptions he made in
presenting it.

The instant we begin to delve into or allow these sorts of insinuations
and "blind self-centered" ravings, we lose sight of the purpose of the
list, which, as I understand it, is to provide a means of exchanging
information and fellowship among LBC enthusiasts.

Generally, I welcome off-topic comments and posts -- its part of the
fellowship of being a LBC owner.  This, however, is not off-topic, it is
purely offensive.

Here are the facts:

     What is good or bad depends purely on a person's
         subjective views.

     Good and bad technology has many different
        countries of origin.

     Good and bad technology was invented by people
        of many different origins.

     Some countries are more advanced than others.

     Some countries prefer different methods of
         providing services.

     Some people prefer different things.

     We all have the right to disagree.

     We do not have the right to attack another
         because of disagreement.

I think you get the point.  Why don't we move on?

Rich
