RE: RAT ANTI-NATO-ART

[Sharon MacMenamin <saoirse9@yahoo.com>]

Actually, i find it quite comforting that Sylvain is right again.  it's
one of the few things i've come to count on...that & the fact that this
circle does indeed keep spinning, though THAT thought inspires no
comfort whatsoever.  Come to think of it, that circle seems more like a
spiral that keeps wending it's way down,
        down,
                  & down.

It IS all related, isn't it John?

So who's benefitting John?  We wouldn't be there without someone
gettin' fat on it.
