Hello, Ram, and hi
I am trying, with a slight sense of desperation, to engage you in some kind of dialogue, bearing in mind that such will open up
mutual confusions, misapprehensions etc. But I did write a post to this list saying how I feel somewhat bewildered about the legacy
of T.Jefferson and asking for help, I don't know whether you read posts on this list or just send out notices, but to my mind any
list is a place for interaction, I do feel deeply confused that you are promulgating the vision of a slave-master by a Mr. Eric S.
Petersen etc, the language tells it all, Mr so-and-so, my problem is that I don't get where you are coming from, to me you talk
boss-speak, I don't imagine that that is where you come from but why this blithe superiority? It all makes me feel like, to use the
Americanism, 'white trash', and I don't like that.
With Best Wishes from
