I thought you left this convo about 8 posts ago. In the discussion in question, to tell you the truth Judy, your words were ambiguous to me. I did, without checking the wording, with all honest intent, state that you had acknowledged that I had read "IT". Upon checking, I saw that "IT" could be interpreted as one of several things. i was referring to one context -- which was accurate, and it appears from your vile, you were referring to another context. The take-away is that words, particularly when pronouns are used, can be interpreted by a group of different readers in a variety of ways. To claim the ones own interpretation is "self-evident" and all others are just studid, -- well such an attitude speaks for itself. With good intent, I took some time to craft a response that upon reading several times, you may find some interesting insights. If you care not to, thats fine. If you care to disparage it or me, thats fine. If you care to beat your chest and let out a tarzan yell, thats fine. Its funny that you throw around such heavy words, "you screwed up badly" regarding someones precieved misunderstanding of your precious words. It shows how tightly you must feel ownership of your thoughts and ideas, how they form a part of your essential identity. For most I have come across who do that, they feel very threatened when someone attacks their ideas. And lose the joy and benefit of being open to change, refinement and growth of the ideas that happen to run through their heads. None of your slurs seem to fit. (And I do wonder why you appear to pump out as many ad homenun attacks against people who disagree with you as actual discussion points.) I am neither confused, have not screwed up badly, nor am I trying to pull a fast one. But if it makes you feel better, I will get up and dance with a chicken suit on, reciting shakespeare backwards -- or any other things I can do to look silly in your eyes and make you feel grand and superior. In fact just to short-curcuit all ad homenum attacks in the future, let me stipulate up front that I think Judy Stein is a superior being and way better and superior to me in every way, and I am a simple no good undeserving fool. Ok now tht we have that out of the way, maybe we can focus on ideas. I could not find the Blitz Wilson Transcript on CNN, but I got the video clip -- which has a lot more context and nuance than a transcript anyway. Interesting in several regards. The most amazing one is that in listening to the questions and resposnes, there is FAR more ambiguity in Wilson's response than I had imagined. That you can go on and on for 8 posts honking to the world how clear and self-evident the words in context, when in listening in context they are clearly open-ended, is simply phenomenal. I invite all to view the 11 min clip (see videos half way down). It brings up a lot of other good points. But it is particulalry insightful to see how ambiguous and open-ended the 'clandestine' operative issue is left. http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/07/15/cia.leak.rove.ap/index.html To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
