Atomic City Talk

I think that E's point is that this particular politician is incapable of giving basic human respect when he uses terms like "broad". There is a level of respect that does not need to be earned, now that we have lived through the civil rights and the women's movements. Perhaps, the reality is that we need for people like this, who seem rooted in the ugliness of the past, to simply die before these kinds of attitudes vanish, but in the meantime, we do not need to reward them with our votes.

I think she is right to call him on his shallowness.

It's quite narrow-minded to judge someone so harshly based on a single utterance, especially considering your moniker. To each his own, I suppose.

Not when this is a politician at a public event. We are fortunate to have these rare glimpses into a politician's soul. It makes voting so much easier.

Weren't you a politician at some point? What does your moniker say about your soul?

Nope, never.

Well, I would hope that you would apply the same standard to all politicians - including those for whom you've expressed sympathy. A talent such as yours (soul gazing) should not be wasted.

Thanks, I do.
