...Why don't you leave the United States if you don't like the

That's 10 pm here. Listening to WGN right now.<br>
<br>
Mostly sports and traffic reports. Will try to listen in if I dont
fall asleep first.<br>

Saw two war protesters in front of the US Embassy yesterday. No
posters or flyers<br>
had they but one of the guards told me that they come there every day.<br>

David: gee, I will have missed the opportunity of tuning in to the
O'Reilly program. And what time, etc, is the WGN radio program; have
you accepted to join that?

<div>The responses are indeed disheartening, but it's
impossible
to tell what population they are coming from. This whole thing has gone
viral. I've been called to be interviewed on WGN radio in Chicago
tomorrow. I also received a call from Fox to go on the O'Reilly program
tonight, which I turned down.</div>

<div>I find that in EVERY internet political/philosophical
discussion (and real-world discussions as well), while some comments
are of course just plain idiotic, others make valid if adversarial
points. I'm more and more aware that we're all just blind men with the
elephant, identifying various aspects of a topic or problem but rarely
stepping back far enough to perceive the forest in all of its
biodiversity. (Please forgive the mixed metaphor if you perceive it
as such. :-) )</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Furthermore, as you say, the commenters on these discussion
boards (as well as most of the letter-writers) are just venting their
spleens. They have no real power to affect/effect public policy,
except through their vote, which is what I presume you're attempting to
influence.</div>

Thanks for writing your good letter, David, and letting us know that it
was published in the DI. One can only be disheartened by (most of) the
responses. Perhaps the Block I not only chanted in unison at the game,
but are chanting in unison in their malevolent and/or ignorant
responses to your letter.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It might be useful to have those responses see the light
of
day.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>--Mort</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>P.S. It would be useful to know how many read the messages
on this listserve. If you do read them on a more or less regular basis,
please let me know by simply replying with subject line "test". </div>
