So I wouldn’t be anti-American for you if just stopped bringing up US
sponsored war and profligate energy consumption and I can’t discuss
these problems without causing you to feel *bad and wrong*? I’m
afraid that’s your emotional and moral problem bobG and you’ll have
to deal with it yourself, perhaps you should just filter these
discussions out if they bother you that much. Myself I’m interested
in a public discussion of any number of serious problems facing all
of us in this global community we all live in. If you are incapable
of taking part without baiting people here then I’d prefer it if you
could back your accusations up with some sort of serious argument.

Now you’re starting to sound like Anthony. I’m serious though, if you
want to accuse me of anti-American bias then I challenge you to put
your words where your mouth is.
