Andres & all,
(Hello, moderator. Anyone home?) When you say that "this is starting to sound like Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'" what particularly are u referring to? Give us a quote. When u go
to the extreme of saying that someone is starting to sound like Hitler, it seems like u are playing the racist/fascist card, especially when u don't name names or quote any quotes. Are u saying that Tanya is a fascist? or are u saying that Tanya is 'beginning
to look a lot like nazi'. No wonder the conservatives in our ranks don't speak up. It's a chiller. Indeed, i am chilled to the bone at the prospect of now being titled xenophobe
(or worse) for defending T.
Never-the-less,
Joe

Chilling.
