Yes, it was a fair assumption. But when one can acknowledge to oneself that they are making an assumption, honest questions, rather than posting assumptions as personal axioms, is the better way of approaching an assumption, if the goal of confirming an assumption is getting at the truth.
"Why do you have to be nasty when somebody posts something reasonable to you?"
The post given to me was not reasonable and even had the gall to accuse me of deceit.
"I wasn't attacking you, I wasn't flaming you, I wasn't telling lies about you."
I know you weren't Teri.
On #25 you said:
"...she refuses to call the war on terror a culture clash between western and eastern civilizations. She also refuses to call the religion of islam one of violence."
Why should she do either? She's the First Lady she's not obligated to make public statements like that. And it would be highly inappropriate for her to do it.
You really are ridiculous.
So I suppose it should be her first prerogative to misrepresent the religion of Islam by claiming that it is one of peace? Okay, whatever you say Deb. The truth is more an issue of subjectivity to some anyway.
Is that or is that not a declarative statement, bound inside an interrogative?
I will review the trascript.
I love it when you use in those higher English terms. I was a low B, high C in English. Can you tell?
Just as a small note (and I'm sure you're well aware of this, Howlin):
What agencies are covered?
The FOI Act applies to every "agency," "department," "regulatory commission," "government controlled corporation," and "other establishment" in the executiv branch of the federal government. This includes Cabinet offices, such as the departments of Defense, State, Treasury, Interior, Justice (including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Bureau of Prisons); independent regulatory agencies and commissions, such as the Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission and the Consumer Product Safety Commission; "government controlled" corporations, such as the Postal Service and Amtrak; and presidential commissions. The FOI Act also applies to the Executive Office of the President and the Office of Management and Budget, but not to the President or his immediate staff.
Not all entities which receive federal funds are covered by the FOI Act. For example, corporations such as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and entities such as the American Red Cross, both of which receive federal monies but are neither chartered nor controlled by the federal government, are not covered.3 The Supreme Court also has ruled that a private organization which is established for the sole purpose of carrying out government research contracts and is totally funded by the federal government is not automatically an "agency" subject to the FOI Act.4
The Act does not apply to Congress, the federal courts, private corporations or federally funded state agencies. However, documents generated by these groups and filed with executive branch agencies of the federal government become subject to disclosure under the Act, just as if they were documents created by the agencies. Congressional agencies such as the Library of Congress and the General Accounting Office follow their own records disclosure rules and procedures patterned after the FOI Act.
