Those who have volunteered to fight in just wars prove you wrong.

I don't, and have never said anything remotely similar to that. What
have you been smoking? Or is this just the usual response of those
who are unable to marshal any factual or logical arguments against my
posts: i.e., lying about what I have plainly written?

Lie. It just puts the good of the majority of deserving individuals
above the privileges of an undeserving minority.

Lie.

I don't know. The Net has changed the game by making it possible to
inform and educate very large numbers of people at almost no cost.
But it has likewise made it cheaper to misinform and deceive. One
thing is sure: we won't get to freedom, justice and prosperity by
acquiescing in a system that yields tryanny, injustice and stagnation.
