   Not sure how it works, but I see series of attacks spaced about 5   
   seconds apart. Usually from different IP addresses

   Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper   
   name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating   
   or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its   
   logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of   
   the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must   
   face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
