I am not going to reiterate myself by responding to the rest of the post
becouse you already know what I would say :)
It is refreshing Deborah that you and I were able to find our true point of
difference without becomeing intolerant with eachother.
Esentialy we seem to agree on the facts and how things have played out. What
we disagree on was the appropriatness of the actions that were taken
concerning "spin".
As such I would like to continto focus more closely on this part, if you
don't mind.
What I find amazing is that I am allways on the other side of this dicotomy
when it comes to person-to-person communication.
At times I wish people would just get the Gist of what I other mean and not
pick apart the details which are often due to misspeaking. It's not allways
that one don't know, sometimes one might just pull out the wrong words. At
the same time, I hold no negative assment of Bush et. al. for spinning as I
see spinning a requirment to communicate with and perswade the American
public. The emergent properties of this appears controdictory. "Listen to
what I mean not what I say" "Listen to what I say not what it sounds like I
mean". The key to the differnece is in the use of logic and recognizing
mistakes rather than recognizing spin.
Deborah
I am interested in your take on person to person comunication, what you think
would have been the most appropriate action taken by Bush et. al., and how
the spin doctors from their oposition could have been delt with without
resorting themselves to any degree of "spin"/
