i just noticed that your not on twitter. many of those that frequent hfw utilize twitter as well. i think you would find twitter very entertaining and informative. from your posts i assume you lean toward the conservative right wing party in the u.s.

there are many conservatives that use twitter to connect with others with common political positions. to keep informed of other ideologies and political perspectives i hope you would follow those with alternative approaches as well, at least to keep informed of what the opposition is thinking. twitter allows you to create lists to keep who you follow separated. you could create one for the right and the left. i think you would find it very useful. let me know what you think.

here is a link.
Mike (aka PageDoll) is the next T.A.
what? another damn t.a.!

the bit of history i referenced was in response to the quote you provided alone “if it is true what does it matter where it came from?” and not the fictitious email in your original post. my recollection of the ethical dilemma caused by the notorious anatomy book had no bearing upon your initial post. i thought your quote was rather interesting. indeed, you would be correct. comparing the two subjects is like comparing apples and oranges.
i apologize if i have ignored the emphasis you had originally placed upon the email you provided. the political opinions and facts conveyed in the letter didn’t interest me. i did note that you opened with, “the bright light of truth…” and thought i should provide additional factual context to the origin of the email in respect to your prompt by noting its questionable origins. further the email ends with, “sincerely, every real american” i found this final remark slightly unprincipled and rather insulting since the unknown author falsely attributed the words to another unsuspecting individual.

regarding politics in general, i abstain from discussing politics here on hfw for various reasons. mainly because such dialogues quickly digress into an uncivil discourse punctuated by inflammatory trolling, juvenile mockery, exaggerations, half truths and ranting tantrums. none of which respects the civility and eloquence of the democratic tradition of political debate that produces the consensus and progress that a functioning politic requires. for such worthy deliberations i go to political forums that are much more appropriate than the hfw site is.

“if it is true, what does it matter where it came from?” interesting quote. reminds me of a bit of history. for sometime there was an anatomy book that was very popular among medical schools throughout europe and the u.s. later it was realized that the book had been in part based on nazi medical research. since this revelation there has been much ethical discussion regarding the use of the material. what do you think?

actually this rather infamous email has been exposed as a hoax for some time. the supposed author ms. kathleen lyday has stated she did not write the email. although i am very sure that the opinions conveyed in the email are commonplace and that there are many authentic letters stating as much being sent routinely to the white house. i have read many eloquently stated critiques of the obama administration that are authentic. many of these open letters have been written by some very respected statesmen and political authorities. I think selecting a correspondence from a reputable source would have provided stronger support for your political position.
