OT
mlsoft--
Very well said! Your approach is exactly the opposite of the critics I had in mind. Like I said, I agree that there is much to criticize in Carter's public life -- and your message demonstrates very clearly how we can identify specific points to debate. You and I would come to different conclusions on some things, though probably not as many as you would think. <G> But what I really respect and appreciate is that we could have a good-faith discussion of the issues, rather than trading screams about whether Carter is good or evil, or stupid or smart, or whatever.
I think the recent personal attacks on Carter in the conservative and right-wing Christian community have been utterly disgraceful -- and, in the case of the Christians, deeply hypocritical. That's why the "idiot" comment from overnight set me off this morning--.
I really will stop now!
