Isn't "pickled cucumber" a redundancy?  I know there are pickled tomatoes 
and other items, but isn't cucumber the default?  Or are you just an idiot?

I should never have injected non-Frank discussion into this list, but since 
you won't leave it alone.  Since you are interested in historical 
analogies: consider the American disinformation campaign and its war of 
conquest against Iraq, not to mention its casual indifference to the 
destruction of priceless cultural artifacts, as analogous to Nazi Germany 
itself and its murderous campaign of world domination.  You surely can't be 
ignorant enough to believe that this was really a war of liberation to free 
the Iraqi people from Hussein's dictatorship?  And if you're that stupid, 
what the fuck are you doing on this list?  Excuse my intemperance, but the 
blood that is on the hands of the American people as a result of what our 
deranged (and unelected) rulers have done is serious business, and while 
I'm stuck in daily life with this oppressive political reality, I'm not 
going to abide on a scholarly list with dumb fucks like you.

I might be tempted to say something more about Wilhelm Reich, especially if 
I can get someone to answer my questions about any relationship of whatever 
kind to the Franks.  But damn if I'm going to debate this awful war on this 
list, unless someone relates it more abstractly to the mechanisms of 
self-delusion and the big lie.
