sp editors' emails

ryan: I don't believe in the Augustinian notion that there is such a thing as a "just war." So, in my opinion, ALL war is bad; not only the unjust ones--if there even is such a thing (which I don't believe there is).
seth: totally - you are entitled that opinion for sure - and you are welcome to change it up. That's part of the fun. But - I am damn glad that someone stepped up to Hitler in WWII otherwise, the gaping hole in my family would probably have extended to myself. But - that is just me.
me: man. the holocaust card.
seth: can't be topped.
