Bruce,
Your point is well taken. I appreciate the variety and depth of opinions
(whether they be political, religious, social, or other) amongst members of
this list. Believe me, I have no intentions of fighting with other listies
about whose political ideology is superior, I just felt that Ysobelle's
vilification of the "Radical Right" was unwarranted, especially given the
diversity of the list. Perhaps I should have responded differently and less
defensively to what she said, but I obviously can't undo that. I do apologize
though to all who may have somehow been offended by my response.
