You are correct - it's like the rest of the quote, even when I point it out,
is invisible. Dang.
Anyway, yes, I am of the opinion that women and minorities *do* get the
message and don't buy it. But I was trying to leave it open at the time to
discussion and get the Libertarian viewpoint: did they even think about it
or regard it as an issue; had they considered deeply and feel they had the
answer; something else?
Now, what Katie talks about is certainly worth discussing, but I would just
like to seperate it from what I said, that's all. (recruiting for the
Libertarians, indeed! Harumph!) :-)
