Reply #2: I have only two minor quibbles with your journal entry [View All]

(1) If everyone simply identified themselves as humans, we wouldn't have FEWER wars... we would have NO wars.

(2) You have written something worthy of being printed in any major publication... but near the end you say this:

"I have been accused of giving Hillary Clinton a “free ride” when I rail against Obama like this. I don’t mean to do that. I have serious problems with her as well, in particular the huge amounts of money that she has received from Republicans and her recent vote on the Kyle-Lieberman amendment, which I do believe increases the likelihood of George Bush starting a disastrous war against Iran. But I don’t have a problem with her rhetoric as I do with Obama’s. Anyhow, I doubt that I’ll be voting for either of the two in the primaries. If Edwards or Kucinich are on the Maryland ballot I’ll vote for one of them, and if they’re not I’ll vote for one of them anyhow (But I will vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election). . "

Sorry, but from what I can see, the vast majority of DU'ers (including myself) have no standing with which to accuse you of anything. Therefore you have no reason to defend yourself in advance from their attacks and to emphasize that you will be voting for the eventual Democratic nominee. You are intentionally lowering yourself to our level (the majority of us, not all of us, let me just add that to avoid getting flamed since I'm at that lower level where I have to be concerned about it) ... and I personally feel you should take your writing up to a new level. You should be getting paid for it.
