Re: [PDI] qualogistics@aol.com

Gary's point that "...while there's presently no prohibition against
so-called "bad words" on this list, be aware that use of them is likely to
put off some people who might otherwise be inclined to listen to you..." is
very well-said.

And that's what my response to Costa (F Al Franken) was all about.

I'm done.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but... knock it off, guys.

If you feel supporting Franken is the best use of your time and/or
money, then go for it. If not, then rather than tear down someone
else's idea, try finding and suggesting alternatives. There are
single-payer bills at both the federal and state level which need to
be pushed. We still have two wars to end. And township and municipal
elections are April 7; look around in your area to see if there are
candidates you think you can trust. (Personally I'm biased toward this
slate: http://www.yorkdemocrats.org/elections.php)

It's easy to tear down and hard to build up. Telling each other how
*not* to spend our time is not a productive use of our time.

Also, while there's presently no prohibition against so-called "bad
words" on this list, be aware that use of them is likely to put off
some people who might otherwise be inclined to listen to you.
