<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Bob,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>NRA is only a part of it and is secondary. I never
did fit any mold. In my left wing radical days, the Marxists cursed me as a
"Marxist revisionist" which is about the nastiest thing one could be called by a
Marxist. Trotskyites for some reason wanted a fist fight over poltical theory.
The "Socialist Workers Party" usually wound up rabid and foaming at the mouth as
a result of discussions of politics. Of course I got along well with " Hippie
Folk", Viet Nam Vets against the War and the Black Student Union. How did I get
from there to here? All I can say is "What a long strange trip it's been!"

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also, the NRA is ok, but not radical enough! But
that is another rather complex story.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>An interesting read is Etienne La Boite on the
"Politics of Obedience". He was a 16th century philosopher. It is a short read,
but very worthwhile to stimulate thinking. It is particularly interesting as he
was a (close) contemporary of Niccolo Machiavelli. Actually read both
philosophers and think which is preferable and which dominates current political
theory and practice. Consider where we have gone since the early days of the
twentieth century. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well controlled, contained explosions with
a little bit of smoke. A system designed to punch approx 0.308" holes in
paper at a long distance. Most will need no further explanation. A might
overpowered for chucks though.It would be kinda like swatting them with
Thor's Hammer!</FONT></DIV>
