from an email i received. This impression is abundantly confirmed, indeed made overwhelming, when we look at the alternative. Senator Kerry has not made much of an impression in Europe, or indeed, I gather, in America. Many on the Continent support him, because they hate Bush, not because of any positive qualities Kerry possesses. Indeed we know of none, and there are six good reasons that he should be mistrusted. First, and perhaps most important, he seems to have no strong convictions about what he would do if given office and power. The content and emphasis of his campaign on terrorism, Iraq, and related issues have varied from week to week. But they seem always to be determined by what his advisers, analyzing the polls and other evidence, recommend, rather than by his own judgment and convictions.

you will learn to challenge assertions yourself before accepting them. Thanks, and you are right. Quite a few emails pass by and I generally check the veracity before forwarding the few good ones. More than a few have gone back with references to urban legends. Several returned ones have been critical of Kerry lately. I had checked this story out and was satisfied. As you can see from the link in my previous post (if you choose to believe me) that there were multiple sites that supported the assertion. I became a victim of the same personal shortcoming that other posters are sometimes prey to. We check the sources that tend to have similar views as ourselves. It appears to be problem in humans in areas beyond politics. Each of us is responsible for our own actions. Thanks for putting up with me.
