now I know its fairly pointless but I am fairly pissed off at this comment.
I am an Australian. The fact the person said this without even bothering to
read it implies a disrespect for the people who died for my freedom, and
odds are
indirectly his own, I'll tolerate pretty much anything except that. The
references
to Satanism well I find difficult to reply to in a polite manner.

on a more logical note how does this guy know that Russell wasn't referring
to a
satanistic festival anyway?
