[Rhodes22-list] Political Comment - for Ed

[Robert Skinner]

Ed, we love you, but you can be a bit ...
   when you are off your meds.

Isn't it possible that sailors tend somewhat 
toward the liberal side because they are more 
confident of their abilities and don't need a 
demagogue or father figure to tell them how 
to think?

By the way, as you are the guardian of the 
subject line, I suggest that the "Political"
keyword should be the first part (left end)
of the subject line, not appended so far to 
the right (coincidence?) that it can hardly 
be seen by mortal eye.

Your use of the pronoun "We" might need 
clarification as well.  Newbies should be 
warned that you are using it in "royal" 
fashion (as if you were the king of a 
country) rather than actually speaking for 
all on this list.

Happy New Year!  May your sails be more 
full of wind than your commentary in 2008.

/Robert
