<HTML>McGee: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">You can say anything you want, but the fact is, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, and people like me are going to call you and others on it. Deal with it. </BLOCKQUOTE> And when you pronounce yourself the fount of all wisdom on a subject, the ultimate and final authority, and then race bait anyone who dares disagree with you, people like me are going to object. You are not engaged in some righteous act of speaking truth to power; you are self-righteously shitting on anyone who raises questions you don't want to deal with. If you don't want to deal with an issue, just avoid the subject. A voice that does nothing but abuse others in a conversation will not be missed, and that is how you insist upon speaking; for someone who talks about everyone trying to dictate to him, I have yet to see you speak, as an equal, with anyone else, on no less than five different lists. If you said something substantive, much less new and interesting, it would be a different story. Deal with that. Leo Casey United Federation of Teachers 260 Park Avenue South New York, New York 10010-7272 (212-598-6869) Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. -- Frederick Douglass -- </HTML>
