False Labeling Stifles Meaningful Debate

[MaggieMae]

Every American of every age should read David Brooks' "The Art of Growing Up" Lincoln. He argues that Lincoln's struggle consciously with "his inner demons" transformed into the leader we needed at the most desperate junction of our history. Recognized his faults and limitations as challenges to meet and overcome, not to excuse and rationalize. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/06/opinion/06brooks.html

Maggie is absolutely right on with her analysis.

Thanks, but I still expect a few "idiot old hag" comments.
