But then you would not be right as most of the legitimate criticism (not the hate ones) are from the right. A matter of opinion, and another statement that I could easily use in support of my case about what was or wasn't "legitimate" criticism of Clinton during his tenure. <TABLE cellpadding

Thanks. Sleeping that long is very unusual for me. I guess over a week of constantly pain interrupted sleep caught up with me. You should try it more often...freakin' amazing.

You want a flame war? How's this one: HOW DARE YOU SKIP ME??? I know I've been gone for two years, but damn, they must have told stories! I'm the franchise, baby! No one can match what I bring! There you go, have fun with it

Going back and reading new work, you always gain new perspective based on the new person you've become. You might not end up finishing the same story you started, but often you take inspiration from it and create a new one that goes in a different and more fulfilling direction. To answer your opening question, you can forget how to write, but once you start doing it again it is easy to remember. Back when I was taking all my education courses,

Lets talk media. Then we have a discussion, and not some opining. I could make a case for Bush being the worst president of the last half century, and use the same claim as to why the right-leaning media lets him slide.On the same topic, plenty of the same right-wing media was ranting against

2+2 was always 4. I was fine with math up until that point. Then they hit me with the algebra and the trig and the calc and the stats and I'm gonna need to have a drink now.

I'm more than happy to provide my services regarding your English Comp. As far as Algebra goes, let me just say there is a reason that early civilizations believed math to be the devil's work...I took my last math course about 3 years ago, and am ecstatic that I never have to breach that subject again.

I should have qualified that as "when the intent is in line with their philosophy". Obviously, Bush is not. But the worst president of the 20th century is hailed by them as their greatest sucess in the last half of the 20th century. Why? Because his intentions were pure, even though his results stunk.

If you're using IE, just highlight it and hit the quote button, either the "Q" on the blogs themselves or the "Quote" button on the forums. In Firefox, it's a bit more finnicky. You've got to copy/paste it, all wrapped up in the tags (keep in mind I'm changing the q to a g so you can see it) and [/guote]. </T

That's my point. There is plenty of judgment of Bush, and it is well deserved. My previous point was about your claim that the left cares only about intent, and not results. If this were the case, than the left would be applauding Bush for deposing a tyrant, instead of crucifying him for mismanaging a war. And on the topic of grand promises, I believe the war ended a few years back, according to the president...and to hear him speak, it soun

What great result is the current administration being judged on? Crafting rhetoric is what every self-respecting politician, of either denomination, is doing at this point in the campaign.

To begin, let me say that mainstream conservatives haven't exactly been stampeding down the avenues fixing targets on right-wing lunatics, and to be honest, I don't believe that they should have to. That's not really the point of this article, however, so I'll leave it for now and perhaps revisit it on my own page. Now, as to why there is no protest when John Edwards says he wants to educate impoverished children worldwide: John Edwar

I agree with you completely. It has truly become exhausting to read things on here, which is why I pretty much don't anymore. It seems to me that no matter how long people pretend to be civil here, it's all just a prolongued charade, with everyone just one second away from stabbing someone else in the back. In a way, after witnessing the little cliques here close ranks (and watch the cliques come now to insist they'r

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but you seem to have a very big chip on your shoulder. Have you read the other comments? I think the poem is explained extensively through my correspondence with Stutefish. Read those. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Qu

I admit that I'm still a little confused about the line "You gave up long ago, you can't rewind it". This really seems to apply only to actual persons who can change their mind (or make up their mind), rather than to the personification of an abstract concept. In personifying the concept, I gave it extr

What you're telling us is that some people aren't worth saving or understanding, only hating and reviling. Again, you're wrong. I can see how you misinterpreted, but you're wrong. This is about racism, who is personified as someone who can't be redeemed, because I don't think racism is redeemable. It either exists or it doesn't. <BR

And you frame this intolerant rant as a rant against intolerance. You claim repeatedly that you know the truth and that others do not--this is the foundation of intolerance. Again, intolerant of racism, murder, rape, child abuse, terrorism, discrimination, domestic violence, animal cruelty, etc. <B
