SPUN QUESTION
Unless you have been ignoring the seemingly senseless mass of incoming e-mail for a month or so, you have most likely received letters asking you, point-blank, if "you believe in the war in Iraq?"
That's a loaded question inviting negative replies.
When I come across appeals to ignorance such limited-askings such as these campaigning letters, I find I, quite naturally, re-act in pretty much the same manner as did my maternal grandfather when anyone ask him for whom he had voted. The basic intent of his reply was: "None of your damned business!"
Granddaddy had worked during as a lumberjack in Michigan. He was not a stranger, by any means, to some of the rougher types of dealing with disturbances. He, the son of immigrant parents, had some rather firm ideas about the personal nature surrounding his
political beliefs and, especially, the manner which he might best cast his valued ballot. I feel certain sense of allegience to my nation, respect for our chosen leaders of whatever party - properly pledged as befits the office held.
