1145 FW: Racial Blind Spot Continues to Afflict Greens -- rank: 1000

>From what I have watched so far, the "liberal" pundits like that awful Chris Matthews on Hardball -- who has the worse Pat Caddell types on his show regularly to bash the Democrats -- have certainly contributed to giving more credibility to Bush than he and his daddy's hacks deserve. Although I think both candidates stink, it is remarkable that there is so much hostility to Gore. marta Max Sawicky wrote: > > Right now the 'radical' choice for Gore is pursuing > his case. ...

1146 FW: Racial Blind Spot Continues to Afflict Greens -- rank: 1000

The TV pundits say that Gore has purposely distanced himself from the NAACP and Jesse Jackson. Are they right? I haven't been following the dribble from the Dem party machine. But if so, it would seem that Gore has obviously concluded this race issue isn't a "winner" for him.

1148 Anti Depressants?... -- rank: 1000

Bravo -- go Carol go. While white people can never become black, nondisabled people *can* become disabled. Take heart - there is still hope for some of them. Even then, it takes some a long time to recognize the body politic and the oppression of their new reality, including myself. I was born with a disability and worked for civil rights in the South in my early twenties but did not make the body oppression connection until my impairment did not allow me to "pass" as nondisabled an ...

I missed most of this thread but would like to know where the evidence of this "fact" comes from. Knowing lots of persons who are paraplegics, quadriplegics, and have other limited mobility who are NOT depressed, the theory seems rather simplistic and wrong to me. -- Marta Russell
