Sorry, Im a bit fuzzy, maybe you can explain to us good americans why we go to war all over the world......and perhaps touch on how many people (not just americans) have died because of it? Just wondering.....Jay Dee. – posted by Felipe

This comment was sent to Post Turtles , which I wrote on July 22, 2007. Comments such as these are manifestations of cyber courage bolstered by the anonymity of hotmail and the Internet and are generally ignored and sent to the cyber trashcan. The posters of them are not interested in discussion. This one wasn’t laced with the usual profanity, but does reek of the usual liberal condescension. Felipe’s IP address originates in the UK. I won’t post his hotmail email handle, but I’ve discovered something interesting during my years of cyber travels. People use the same handle whether it’s for their hotmail account, in forums or other places. I typed Felipe’s into Google and it steered me to a California gay singles site and a restaurant review written in the UK. The review was written by someone with the same handle as Felipe’s and claiming to be from California. Hey, I’m just sayin’…

I started to send this comment over to my friends at OWD for their thoughts, but they’re as old as me and I think some of them have pace makers - and PTSD. I can’t afford to pay for their busted keyboards or any time in the cardiac care unit so I thought I’d chat with Felipe myself. If I do a bad job of it, I’m sure they’ll stand me at parade rest and square away the situation.
