And why would you inject the totally meaningless..."My Dad was a black soldier blah, blah, blah"? What does your color have to do with anything?
Political slap fights are part of the deal or do you prefer being patronized? Slap back, no problem, but leave the victimology in the car.
How in the WORLD am I the one shouting anyone down, Deb? Show me in the thread where I addressed one single word to YOU in initiating this "conversation"? YOU decided to interject your voice in this thread making personal attacks on people for no apparent reason. Why the innocent act all of a sudden and claiming I'm the instigator?
As for "victimology", you've again, gone off half-cocked with no idea who you're talking about. YOU DON'T KNOW ME, so play the psychoanalyst with your friends, not me.
I injected that phrase meaningfully (whether it means nothing to you doesn't make it so) to show the level of commitment I have to a form of government that in it's playing out has not always been what I've hoped for, in other words to show that I can deal with compromise and the slow pace of a promise long in coming to fruition.
You tried to portray me as someone coming from no other position than that of griping. I gave you some personal history, which you desperately lack, to counter your erroneous and vicious personal attack. My family and myself have had PLENTY of reason to whine and we have a demonstrated history of NOT doing so. That was the point of my "meaningless" comment.
Again, I stand by what I said: for someone so apparently concerned for the benefit of us all, why the resorting to sudden and personal attacks on someone who wasn't even speaking to you? Psychoanalize that.
