Re: E-85

rexim said - "I see you still don't get my point"

And what is your point (in 50 words or less, since you claim to be brief and to the point)?

After that, how about answering the four questions I asked earlier (about 7 posts back)? Each one only requires a simple "yes" or a simple "no", nothing further. To repeat them -

1. are you suggesting that we should unquestioningly accept public figures, politicians, and self-anointed spokespersons who talk the talk, but don't walk the walk?

2. Are you suggesting that we should not set high standards for our politicians, public figures, and self-appointed spokespersons, and particularly, higher standards than we set for the general population, especially when these folks are held up as role models for the rest of us?

3. Are you saying we should not point out the "feet of clay"?

4. Since Gore is casting stones, are you saying he is "without sin"?

And to add one variation on the questions -

5. Do you really believe (multiple choice),
A. as your posts imply, that the majority of people in the US will enthusiastically embrace the message from Gore and as promoted by the Live Earth concerts, or
B. that the majority of people will continue to admire and desire to emulate the lifestyles and practices of the politicos and rock stars?

Please, no spin, no digressions to avoid the answers, just a simple yes or no for 1 through 4 and choose 5a or 5b.
