Default Goodbye.

Davoud
I'm a citizen of the great country that _invented_ the concept
of revolution by the radical left.


Phil Wheeler:
That cannot be the US .. since it is hard to consider Washington,
Jefferson, et al -- many of whom were slave-owning landed aristrocacy --
as "the radical left".


It wasn't hard for George III to consider these folks to be radical.
And you haven't considered Thoreau (_On Civil Disobedience_) or the
writings of Thomas Paine. These were dangerous leftists who advocated
the overthrow of the established system -- the same kind of system the
extreme right is trying -- and failing -- to restore.
