[Rhodes22-list] Politics: Barack the Magic Negro

[Benjamin Cittadino]

Rummy;

I want you to know that I hope you will reconsider your participation in the
list. I have found your contributions to be witty, intelligent and humorous;
I believe your sailing and boat knowledge would also be a real loss. Give
some thought to limiting your posts to sailing and humor if the political
stuff gets you down. I understand your objection to Bill's post though and
respect your drawing the line you have chosen. Despite the cries of
hypocrisy, I am quite certain everybody knows the difference between
offensive racial insults, and calling a witless politician a moron. All
insults are not morally equivalent and I believe it is disingenuous to
pretend otherwise. 

I have resolved to quit the political and ideological debate as well.  

And so, in the words of the French Herald at the conclusion of the Battle of
Agincourt (Henry V), "The day is yours", King William. But remember, "All
glory is fleeting".

Rummy, the openness and generosity of list members on the sailing topics is
a credit to the people who participate. So please stick around.

Ben C.
