re: To clarify...

SDAI-Tech1 — 10/25/2003 4:50:56 AM (archived)

Thanks for the clarification Fox,

According to the world's smallest political quiz - I'm a right-leaning centrist. Yet that's not accurate at all since my views are so much more complicated and can't be fit into standard political beliefs. It's ridiculous to try and classify anyone into a fixed box, and that's not what I do despite Mary Anne's belief to the contrary.

Alexander Hamilton had his positive sides, at least in regards to the creation of a Federal bank, although his personal judgements left some things to be desired.

None of us are perfect - although we are each in a perfect position to learn the things we need to learn to further our progressive evolution, or as Franklin said, "The doors to wisdom are never shut."

Take care Fox,
