[Peace-discuss] Lakoff Idiocy

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Hardly any dog will consume pure raw poison.

Lakoff, every other clever & successful poisoner of dogs,

to assure some intake.

The dwarves and elves were getting all too cozy with each other
and were starting to eye the real enemy.  Can't have that.
