Everyone has a right to their opinion. I respect the fact that you took the time to state yours.
But I have a couple of comments in response...
- It seems to me that there are about as many far right wing activists as there are far left wing activists. And they refuse to talk with one another. That seems to be a major cause of our screwed up Congress.
- The art or study of using language effectively and persuasively is spelled rhetoric, not "rederick".
- I think you probably have it right in not capitalizing the title of the primary elected official in our republic. It probably should be "president Bush". He is such an inept idealogue that he probably shouldn't be honored with the correct spelling of his office: President.
