Gene Wolfe Fans Talk Politics (Again)
I did not say that at all. You merely assumed it, because you substitute assumption for thought.
And that's what gets you called a wingnut, not the other thing.

Sorry, when did I say the American Civil War was justified? It was not. See, I've read up on it a bit.
You seem to be implying that the current government is one which rules "with the consent of the governed." I was pointing out that it was, in fact, no such thing.
BTW, in my last post, I meant to add a ";)" after I called you a wingnut.
You're still a wingnut, but I don't mean it in a nasty way. ;)
Trust me, I've been called much worse than that and in a quite nasty way. I don't take offense easily. I do think it's sad, however, that simply believing in the freedom of the individual is so far from mainstream thought that it gets me called a "wingnut."
