Karen, just for the record. I never wrote off the whole of mainstream press as a "diatribe". However, I do believe the fascination and belief some have that they have a corner on objectivity, thoughtfulness, and organized logic is humorous. It's also interesting to see you elected to attack Dan Quayle personally without engaging in the point upon which I used his name as an example. I've read Hillary's book "It takes a village" and she makes Dan Quayle look like a deep thinking intellectual. Have you read her book? I've also read "Earth in the Balance" by Al Gore. And extreme positions, filled with rhetoric, and unorganized logic fill up the pages. But I would never call her stupid, or him devoid of a one good point in his entire life for those beliefs. The extreme biased reporting today in the mainstream press toward the left in America, is obvious to anyone willing to look at the issue objectively. That doesn't mean I believe they don't provide thoughtful analysis at times. Or that each and every story is a biased diatribe. Discourse will improve when one-by-one people allow themselves to be tolerant of other views and stop labelling and name calling people they disagree with. Ann Coulter or Pat Buchannen aren't stupid because they disagree with you and Hillary. And Dan Quayle isn't a person without a good point in his entire life. I doubt whether you know him well enough to make such a statement. That's the kind of discourse we've become accustomed to hearing these days. Saying Dan Quayle is a pin-head (or words to that effect) and others are stupid is looked at by some as intellectually clever. To me, it demonstrates a biased non-objective way of thinking. I don't agree with very much Pat Buchannen says, but I would never infer him to be stupid for the positions he takes. The same goes with Anne Coulter and her article. Michael
