Re: <nettime> rage against the machine

[Andreas Broeckmann <ab@mikro.in-berlin.de>]

friends, call me over-sensitive, but i think that nobody should be 
burned at the stake for anything in any country; i say this also because 
this flippant kind of rhetoric poisons the reasonable debate that is so 
urgently needed on the matters at issue here. (to the contrary, i am 
glad that some civilised countries find forms of punishment other than 
that for actual wrongdoing.) - unfortunately, in a world where people 
get imprisoned and killed for all sorts of things, there is little room 
for such dark humour... when all the stakes have been taken down 
everywhere, we'll be able to laugh about this joke again, perhaps.
