He's from that generation who was constantly being told by parents and relatives to do the right thing and make your race proud.Mac Daddy Tribute Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483912561779369669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-81550296289440694552009-11-17T03:00:55.425-06:002009-11-17T03:00:55.425-06:00BigMac: You are so right about the desperate finan...BigMac: You are so right about the desperate financial crisis of newspapers all over the country. However, I'm not sure how much this plays in Eugene's comments.<br /><br />Thanks for honestly speaking your opinion. I don't know if there is a right or wrong about Eugene. But I certainly appreciate the conversation. Blessings.<br /><br />Sagacious: While I remain stuck here in cold Minnesota, You're packing up and leaving W.

He may be doing this. Who knows? I should let you know my bias. I have worked at 4 newspapers and wrote columns or features for another.<br /><br />Having said that, I can assure you that both in-class training and working in newspapers, for the most part, try to write and speak close to facts. And I think Eugene makes some pretty heavy statements about the American condition with reasoned arguments. There are many different ways to say that our occupation of Iraq was wrong, that our continued, aimless stay in Afghanistan is wrong. He's said all that And he got the Pulitzer for doing so.

Otherwise get out and work on bigger problems The 15 months figure is way off. Many-- and I mean many-- here at Fort Carson have spent between 36-48 months there already The difference in one respect here is that, during Vietnam we had the draft.Now we are cut mighty thin. 300 of those deaths last year were from suicide. If we send 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan under any condition area 50 will need to be enlarged. And, Daddy, this will not be war; it will be the charge of the light bergage.<br />Rainy<br /><br />XO: I agree with you and BigMac about Eugene serving as a kind of middle roader. In addition, I think he serves as the voice of reason.
