I understand the...Thank you for your service Hayes. I understand the rationale for etiquette and decorum, but it gets to a point where it's like holding one's tongue in the antebellum South. There's times when making a principled statement is essential, not just some form of posturing.<br /><br />For instance, if I ever had the chance to meet Justice Scalia, I feel the proper response would be to spit at (not on) his feet and walk away. But that's just me.LanceThrusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034741254580206813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15840532.post-1165080256182338532006-12-02T12:24:00.000-05:002006-12-02T12:24:00.000-05:00Will is right.

While I wasnt a "bigshot" in the military like Webb, I fought in the first Desert Storm and because of that had a the priviledge of attending a recent Veterans Day ceremony at the White House and had the opportunity to meet incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Neither of us acted like Webb and tried to make some "statement" in a social setting. Instead, we had a very pleasant conversation and I wished her the best of luck in her new job. Webb was (and still is) trying to make political hay of this...just be decent and act the way I hope you were taught as a child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
