Now don't be like that! I think you were talking on one plain and we were enjoying the article on a different plain. There has simply been a misunderstanding or the wierd phase shift that sometimes occurs due to the limits on expression and communication in this non-chat environment.

If you're really a good "agitator" you shouldn't get mad, you should get even!!! I'm really disappointed in your "swan song" due to oversensitivity. I was looking forward to finding out what you were actually talking about. Now you don't just go away... you go away mad! Sad.

I'm very fond of Professor Sowell as I wish all black leaders were Phd's instead of "Reverends." I think Dr. Sowell and Walter Williams, Phd. are the epitome of solid intellect, even though as my name implies, I'm a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (Wasp). I'm truly puzzled what you find so disagreeable with Dr. Sowell's brief essay of astute observations.

I'm also quite fond of farmfriend and Countrydummy, so maybe we'll eventually find more common ground. I'm particularly fond of Grampa Dave and especially Carry Okie and I don't think you need to get sore over a slight missed communication. How 'bout it?

You have freep mail! I asked Agitator not to say anything else until I was able to get the conversation chat text to you. Hoepfully, that way you can understand his position better and know that he is from from a watermelon jhiad kind of person!!!!
