i just want to make it clear that i have tried hard not to pollute 
synth-diy with my political diatribe in the past, and i mostly 
confine it to music-bar (as that is where it belongs), and i 
apologize for having contributed to the mess over here.

if my posting weren't cross-posted, i wouldn't feel the need to 
respond at all .. but alas, i feel i must defend my position.  i am 
not saying the english gentry 'deserve to die', just that england - a 
nation committed to war, regardless of popularity - deserves no 
sympathy for having been 'victimized', as i believe it is in no 
position as a nation state to tarry victim tears into naval battles. 
people forget in their terrror that their state is at war.

if people would only know their history, terrorism wouldn't work. 
but it does, and it is a tool for perpetuating ignorance and 
intolerance, and i, for one, will no longer stand as a puppet to 
terrorist - government, tribal or otherwise - actions, nor the 
equally terrifying mob mentality so pervasive in todays society.

reject my opinion; you are free to do so.  leave my front teeth 
alone, however, they are in bad enough shape as it is ..
