Subject: Re: AMERICA, RIGHT OR WRONG?
gosh, two uncloaks in one week, this is a record for me...blame the two
people who gave me positive reinforcement and flakmagnet whose response
was neither positive nor negative, but appropriate nontheless.
Executive Summary:
Rock On DAWG! See below for sound byte, knee jerk responses.

me too. I believe in the constitution, at least the inclusiveness and
interpreted spirit of it rather than the actual reasons for it's
existence.
>wrong is wrong.

sorry, that's just wrong. wrong is right when wrong flies in the face
of injustice, I think that was pretty well ensconced as part of our
culture by the likes of Batman and Spiderman..

I think the tears are not wasted, they remind us that we, too, are
fallible, frail, and human.
>or try to re write events to make one party look worse than the
other;

the truth is defined by the one who writes the account and we cannot
avoid that interpretiveness of the account. Although I think it's
important not to silence a voice because we disagree with it.

I believe this gives us strength. I applaud the frankness of this
statement, even if we only really clean our socks when it is politically
important and beneficial to us.

I wish that were not true, I rather enjoy the romance of the Native
American Plight (That borders on distastefully racist and inelegant, but
I think Pocohontas was a hottie, anyway, so there, I'll insult everyone
who isn't short, fat, balding, white, and geeky like me, all the while
respecting their tall, thin, coiffured (sp?) colorful attractive selves)

Didn't the Chicago Bears do a version of the PC shuffle? Woob Woob Woob
Woob! pick two! nyuck nyuck nyuck!
Somehow my interest in the list is renewed, I read no less than 50
emails today! Woohoo!
