Article 8343 of net.politics: From: mms1646@acf4.UUCP (Michael M. Sykora) Subject: Re: A Plea for Civility Date: 8 May 85 22:48:00 GMT Article-I.D.: acf4.1340068 -------------------------------------------------- >/* sdd@pyuxh.UUCP (S Daniels) / 6:12 pm May 7, 1985 */ >A thought to remember. Some of the people who read the net >might be writing your next year's appraisal or be potential >employers. >... >Steve Daniels (!pyuxh!sdd) So what? -------------------------------------------------- I'll communicate with Mr. Sykora privately about other aspects of his response. The point I wanted to make was that the "familiar" lines in Reagan's 2nd inaugural If not us, then who? If not now, then when? ...with the middle line missing (If I am for myself alone, what am I?) typify his callousness toward the poor and disadvantaged, and his lack of integrity. Mr. Sykora's responses didn't address that issue, but picked a fight to score points for his opinions. As shown above, he doesn't seem to feel obligated to be civil. Fine, so I'll drop the subject (in public). -- Oded Feingold {decvax, harvard}!mitvax!oaf MIT AI Lab oaf%oz@mit-mc.ARPA 545 Tech Sq. 617-253-8598 work Cambridge, Mass. 02139 617-371-1796 home
