Jeffrey Camilla Flinterman set up an anti-war alternate list over 2 years ago. When I was growing up religion and politics for good reason were definite no nos among friends and associates and I never violated that ban till recently for 2 reasons: Ii plead guilty because 1. I can't do much else besides write letters to newspapers and congressmen and 2. I think we have real reason for alarm.
