Dana, Talk about assuming intent.
I in no way shape or form, ever said YOU or actually ANYONE on this mailing list should talk about positive things in Iraq. OR that YOU should go find positive things. I was CRITICIZING the MEDIA. Not ANY poster here. I was speaking about news and articles. I was in fact, doing a rant. Got it? I am allowed. I took your original reply as telling me, I had no right to complain, and that I should have deleted it, if I didn't want to hear about it. I NEVER EVER CRITICIZED ANYONE ON THIS LIST ... I critized "reporting" and lack of positive "articles" about the Iraq war. I feel there's got to be something out there. Just something. I NEVER said you guys had to talk about positive things. I asked why there wasn't any. So sorry you misunderstood my original intent. OK? Sheesh. And besides, everyone else here criticizes, if I really wanted to, why am I not allowed to? Some rules for half the group and other rules for the other? Well I hope ALL of you have a great weekend, cause we're out of here. Talk to you Tuesday.
