Do you find it relevant that the "frighteningly stupid and incompetent" woman was black, rather than white? Do you intend to say that black women in general are stupid and incompetent? If not, why mention her race?

Joycelyn Elders is opinionated. She is not stupid. I doubt she is incompetent. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

HiTech, I did not agree with all of Elder's opinions, but she had guts to follow her convictions. I do respect that. HAGO TH

Hitech, The problem that Surgeon General Jocylin Elder's had was that she was not part of the Pro-homosexual agenda of the Clinton Whitehouse. She made it clear after she was confirmed that she was not going to try and legitamize homosexual behaviour to America and the Gay extremists set out to destroy her. They finally bagged her when some gay guy with a horrendous lisp asked her this rambling question in front of some United Nations Health Conference about how masterbation should be taught it schools. She looked clearly annoyed at the silly question and sent back a smart ass answer. In Washington where reporters play "gotcha" with this kind of stuff, careers can be made or broken in an instant. That broke her back as Surgeon General. Its really too bad...she was smart, enthusiastic, and spoke the truth...something that the Clinton Whitehouse did not apprechiate. -John
