#16812...Bauge:

"Bottom line is:If you mail something to another person,it is the latter's
principles and integrity that decide how the information will be used.
How the other person will be using the information is not for you to
decide."

Obvious corollary:Those so lacking in principles and integrity
as to have no respect for the wishes of those who send them
information regarding how that information is to be used,should
not expect others to be willing to share information with them.

Passing note that the Revco-Sci URL from Den Otter
in #16819 is obsolete.

Passing expression of distaste for Lee Corbin's description
of me as a "disease" in #16840.

In #16848,Corbin,defending the internment of Japanese-Americans
in concentration camps:
	"(1)What do you think would have happened in France,
if there had been a German sub-population?"

Wasn't there?
Alsace-Lorraine,after all,was Elsass-Lothringen at times,
depending on who had won the last war.

Of course,political orthodoxy forbids any questioning of
the expulsion of millions of Germans from Pomerania and
Silesia in 1945-6,or any suggestion of the expulsion of
Arabs from Judaea and Cisjordanian Samaria.The security
of Poles is obviously much more worthy to the world
community than the security of Jews.

Rudi Hoffmann,in #16857:
	"We don't absolutely have to know your response
to every posting,every day,Louis Epstein."

I don't respond to every message.But I don't see that
others should decide what messages I get to reply to.

With that,I've responded to all the messages from
#16809 to #16866 (which didn't make it to my mailbox)
that I felt needed a response.

I'll knock off for the night.
I had some fillings today,one a replacement,
and part of the opposing tooth needed to be
drilled off to prevent the replacement from
being recracked and needing a cap.My teeth are
wearing.

I'm 40,and until I was 19 had no fillings.
Now I'm uncomfortably reminded of the
perishability of teeth.What are we going
to do to make them last more centuries?
