This will be the last email i send to you, because i've just updated my mail filters.

Blaming the disasters of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc on the doctrines of equality is utterly asinine. These are all examples of ultra totalitarian regimes who mismanaged their way into human suffering on a massive scale. The ideals of equality had nothing to do with it.

Have a nice life. Actually, get fucked ;)
