A thousand of those messages, is worth nothing compared to a handful of messages saying 'thank you, for being human'. Weakness is not to be civil towards fellow humans, regardless of their race, culture, religion, nationality, and beliefs. Weakness is to give in to the rage that one might feel, when seeing other people hurt, and become evil too in the hope that a greater evilness will stop the lesser one. But who needs a greater evilness? No one. We all need to sympathize and express our discomfort to the fact that people in the USA or elsewhere are being mistreated, hurt, abused, killed, every passing day, and help them feel better.. we do not need more 'angels of vengeance' on this planet. A few more 'angels of help' would be most fitting to the lot, though. Just my humble non-USA-citizen opinion, -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
