Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00353)

Daniel,

You tried to take yourself out of the picture.  You discussed the ETS with regard to the Coulomb's document.   I answered.  They could not foresee what you were to do. 

Now, what about you?

In a drug store, will you deliver both medicines and poisons  to people, without labeling them correctly, so that they have  a chance to choose which one they like better? 
 
And tell me: why doing that for free? 

Best regards,    Carlos.
