No one has to see things the same way I do. But to suggest that I'm influenced by some kind of official spin is just silly. My opinions are as much my own as are yours. I do resent some of the blatant anti-American sentiment that is so prevalent today, and I have at times tried to provide some balance. Perhaps you see that as "official spin."
I have no desire to get into deep political discussions here This isn't the place for it. But I've been around a long time, and my experience has run the gamut. I was a member of SDS and a number of other radical progressive groups in the sixties. But I was also able to see where it was all going. Today, I'm defiantly independent. I don't buy anyone's definitions, politics or spin -- least of all that of the contemporary progressives, who approach every issue with religious zeal. I think the lemming-like way that the current left defines every issue sometimes moves me to respond in venues where i should remain silent. I'm no fan of big government, but I am loyal to the country that has guaranteed my freedom. I'll have no further comment about this. As I said, this is not the place for this type of discussion. > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
