A few months back on the list someone posted a link to a recent interview
with Joni where she came out against Bill Clinton with a few remarks that
some people here would not find complimentary. Not one person commented on
this here.
My point is that just because you don't have regard or agree with one
particular individual of a political party does not automatically nullify
all your sensitivity or goodness or worth. It's just an individual right to
choose. Concerns about corporate greed and the environment are not the sole
province of the left and it is really unfair for one group to think they are
the only ones with a claim to goodness. I'm not referring to you
specifically Mark, because I've always thought of you as one of the more
fair and balanced people I've ever met.
