Hi Dave:
I have to say that I appreciate your interest in presenting all views on
these subjects. I commented today on the recent Kerry/Cambodia matter
here (again, trying to look for all views).

The Emporer Has No Clothes
There's been a fascinating discussion online regarding John Kerry's
Vietnam war record statements vis a vis the media's attention to
President Bush's Vietnam era National Guard service (Note: I'm no fan
of either one). The story illustrates, however, the terrible condition
of many major media organizations.
I always thought the purpose of news organizations was to inform
(perhaps that's an idealistic approach) the thinking public. Thank God
for the internet, and our ability to route around these outages (the
first blogger, Dave Winer, started largely because the tech press
rarley got things right).

I strongly disagree with the tone of this reply I received. Forst I did
not intend to embarrass Marcy. He stated his opinion and that opinion
seems to be shared by a significant number of Americans.
Time for my general statement yet again on IP. I want to present all
views on such controversial subjects. While I try to be non political
the time are the times and almost everything ends up sounding
political.

"Dave, what's the point of propagating such idiotic drivel to IP?
Is it to expose and embarrass Mr. Marcy to the thinking world?
Is there a FAQ somewhere that describes the content of this list?
Thanks."
