I am truly not trying to get your dander up, I'm just trying to
understand a viewpoint / opinion that is different than my own.

Elifritz' "dander" is permanently up. He's the worst troll in the
newsgroup. Most of us killfiled him long ago.

Ok, fine, let's try to understand Elifritz' viewpoint, which is
different than your own, and why that 'gets Elifritz' dander up.

Genocide in Iraq, a million dead, a war crime. Secret prisons, torture,
domestic surveillance, criminal offenses all. A 10 trillion dollar debt.

And finally: ESAS, The stick, the shaft, the Ares I. Elifritz is ****ed.

But Elifritz just doesn't say he's ****ed, that just satisfies his
obligations as an American. As an American, Elifritz tried to design his
way out of the mess, with a COTS alternative to the ESAS architecture.

So Elifritz goes well beyond the demand for mere dissent.

Elifritz is a non ****ing hero.
