There are three stages of personal development.
Dependence
Independence
Interdependence
I think the President was eluding to the third stage of personal development being desirable for humankind in general.

She has a point.. but I think she is misunderestimating Bush....
Bush doesn't spout empty rhetoric. Something big is going to happen somewhere and the world is going to change. Scares me a little.

"Because, upon reflection, her opinion of Bush's speech is different than yours?" Thanks for that characterization. Handily used frequently among those who support the President, so.....lukewarmly.
No. I find Peggy to be a bloody hypocrite. "Conservatives receive a lot from Noonan"......well Peggy's in it for Peggy, and tonight she's made it perfectly blatant.
Sorry she didn't get a gig after "donating" her time. But I guess I'm expecting a little more, as a conservative.
To: John Lenin
Thanks for the recommendation.
To: Darkwolf377
I wonder why Bush doesn't do as the Founding Fathers so often did and occasionally refer to God as "Our Creator," "Providence" or (gasp) even "Nature." It wouldn't compromise his beliefs if he did so, IMO. Secular Humanists couldn't possibly have a problem with acknowledging that there is a "causal agent creating & controlling things in the universe."
Oh, wait, they do...

You think?
Sort of like the UNITED States of America are INTERDEPENDENT.
I though that would be obvious to anybody.
Except, of course, those who love to brand him as a globalist/one worlder.

Wow. She surprises me. I don't think I've ever heard her be anywhere near this critical of the Prez.
About the only thing she wrote that I agreed with is this: "Tyranny is a very bad thing and quite wicked, but one doesn't expect we're going to eradicate it any time soon. Again, this is not heaven, it's earth."

Not Peggy's best work. Perhaps the hotel incident upset her.

Sounds like somebody didn't get that job she wanted!
To: Mockingbird For Short
She disagreed. Too much is being made of this. On the other hand... maybe she's tryiing to make another point. Who knows.

I too find this suprising coming from Noonan . No one on the left thought Reagan was sane when he called for an end to the USSR...and see where we are now
I thought the speech was the defining of our position in the world (against totalitariianism) not necessarily a call to war on all tyranies.

Oh, the memories that song brings back up to me! I'll I'm gonna say is it was a very memorable, wonderful year.
To: Red Sea Swimmer
I love techno, too (but only until the mid 90's, modern techno is too "Long Island Dance-Club" for me). I've always thought that techno would be a perfect interstellar language. Anything would be better than that monotonous racket from from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
