I'm kinda stunned you have such a strong emotional feeling about them. The lists themselves don't bother me so much. The people behind them, though, scare the bejesus out of me. There's a line in Nancy Kress' novel Beggars in Spain, where one of the main characters says, of another (a woman whose paranoia has driven her to do some fairly extreme things), that she would nuke the world if it would finally make her feel safe. Too often, that quote floats into my mind when reading things like the SPEWS FAQ.
