[Vision2020] NYTimes: The Big Hate

[Dan Carscallen]

Joe,

I think people are entitled to their opinion.

I don't necessarily have to agree with their opinion.  Nor do I have to
agree with yours.

As Paul wondered earlier, why do we have to draw lines in the sand?  Why
must we search for divisiveness?  I'd just as soon get along.

p.s. my initial post was lighthearted in nature.  I thought you'd "get"
it.  Sunil and Carl would have!

Is it that I'm biased or that you are too afraid to buck the Wilson  
camp for fear of losing votes?

Well, we can test it.

Don't you think that Wilson's revisionism about US slavery is just as  
bad as the denial of the holocaust; if not, why not?

My guess is you won't answer this question -- which is a bit of the  
very problem I'm trying to note.
