Re: Otp POLITICAL and I do not agree with all of it but it makes a person think

hey melinda, you know my politics and I cannot find anything but the
call for a gentler and more zen-like approach to the way we live. There
is certainly no racism implied or otherwise. It appears that Mike is
just trying to provoke Harv and thats a shame.

So I have been sitting here for a while trying to decipher these
posts. Am I missing something? When I click on this link, I only get a
photo essay that laments the loss of a "kinder gentler" world and
exhorts us to live life fully right now. There isn't a home page and
no links to anything other than this essay. Is that what you are
seeing. Mike?

There are pictures of the twin towers for sure but no commentary except
the implied "you never know what tomorrow might bring" theme. While I
have to look hard to even critique this pictoral essay (I always am
slightly suspect of the good old days...the ones where we did all know
our neighbors, were less mobile, had more of a sense of community and
could beat our wives and children without legal intervention....you
know, the old days when we had less divorce, not because of greater
love but because they were harder to get and most women couldn't feed
there families if they left a bad marriage), I agree with the
sentiments of live life to the fullest now....

I usually agree with you politically, Mike, so I am assuming that I am
somehow not seeing the correct link or something is loading differently
for me than for you.

Please elaborate

Hi Mike,

I want you to understand that I really hate that political crap and I do
not want you to reply to me with it. The hate for America and the hate for
our president speaks for itself and I just do not need it.
This is a newsgroup about the support for people with arthritis
problems. Do you understand the last sentence? For now we have a
president that does not kiss your politcal ass and thats fine with me.
Harv



Harv, it's a bit difficult to not construe your post as "political"
because both the first and the last images are of the World Trade
Center. Those images are very highly politically charged whether you
admit it or not. I would venture to guess that Mike was, in fact,
responding to that. Mike, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm really
not a mind reader, ya know.

Actually, as I do most of my surfing/browsing with a
text-only browser, I missed the twin-towers images. I was
going just on the text content alone, including one of the
primary related links. The issues themselves, the subject
matter, and the offensive racism, both implied and blatent,
caught me off guard for a moment, and so I figured that Harv
was inviting comment/response. He got it, and didn't like
it. The rest is Harv indulging himself in a fantasy about me
being some kind of raving "Loony Liberal Pinko-Commie
Anti-American" just because I've disagreed with him, even
though we've hashed this irksome rubbish out before (ad nauseum).

I'm hoping against experience that we won't be seeing a
repeat of the last time I had something to say *in response
to* contentious and upsetting political postings, but
bracing my monitor just in case. (Be vewy qwiet! We're
huntin' wabbit!)

I guess I just got an answer to the question I asked
(repeatedly, but with no rational response) at that time
though. 8(

It all started here...

Anybody want a flame-out on this, pick a more suitable NG
and have it there huh?. Lets pass this by here ok?

Either that, or use yer plonk-filters.
