Charlotte and Janice: Thanks for commenting on the Havel. More next to Quincy's name.
Quincy: Did you read the poem or did you just run to Ochs before you knew what it said? I believe I undercut the Havel accomplishments by noting that "until philosopher EX’s politician/struggled opposed foundered diminished/Velvet Revolution, and he does not survive." I also called him a "child," noted his womanizing, and various and other sundry.
Note, too, the last line-- he will prevail, not merely survive, until the last clash of civilization.
Feel free to hate the poem, Quincy, and/or the man. But do not ever, ever, again satirize me as liberal. You have no idea who I am, what I have been, who I have stood beside, or when I have had to, out of ethical necessity, bitten the hand(s) that have fed me. (And try to steer clear of knee jerk responses before you read/hear what is bring said.) Thank you.
