Marsha: What's this about Ron?
Ron: It is about my concern about the interpretation of MoQ. Recently there were racial comments and accusations being cast, the comment was made that neutrality in these matters was tantamount to agreement. I think the larger threat is the one which undermines the MoQ. Bo's cultural elitism raises the hackles on me for some insidious reason, somehow it is threatening to me and what I value here on the discuss. I think it is more dangerous than any social elitist comments and ideals of anti-multiculturalism or the arguments which ensue from it. Those may be met intellectually in Bo's case there is little appeal to better judgement. which causes me concern. but I endeavor to keep my values loose. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Kulp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 11:43 AM Subject: Re: [MD] gettin it together > > It has been brought up about standing up to racial prejudice > and hate rhetoric.
