Good point. Let's look at the end to that statement, which was <<which makes all public displays suspect........>> In other words "being tough" may be a state of being or it may be a flaunt to feebly disguise wimpiness; thus, when presented in public, suspect. Question arises now...Should the man of 2000, be suspicious or apologetic of toughness, avoid the appearance of toughness, nurture a quiet toughness of character that carries no public display, ridicule the characteristic of toughness altogether, promote toughness as a manly characteristic...or some combination there of?

doing this different ~ working through one post at a time instead of reading the whole thing then responding. <Those who feel the need to flaunt their toughness are generally wimps in feeble disguise.. my exact observation and conclusion. Penetration of the disguise exposes masculinity deficit. My teacher quoted it: "those who say, don't know ~ those who know, don't say".

So true. In the same vein, those who yell or belittle others are usually the most insecure. By the way, I mostly agree with you regarding Buchannan. Especially with regard to his protectionistic philosophies. As far as I am concerned, he isn't a true conservative. Free trade is the greatest wealth producing vehicle ever invented. It's only in rare instances that exceptions should be made. America should elect leaders who embrace free trade and look confidently at American industries ability to compete. Not ones who want to cower and hide behind barriers of protectionism. Michael
