Steve - You are making me feel suspect. I am a teacher but I am not a guest. Big Mic also referred to her (guest) as a northern neighbor. Since I am female, a teacher and live in Canada, I am hoping that you do not think it is me posting as a cowardly guest. Although I am not always right, I am not afraid of disagreeing with anyone.

I wish guest would post with a mudcat name. At least then I wouldn't be so confused. There are many guests on mudcat and it is often difficult to distinguish their opinions. I think guests are victims of the "culture of fear and paranoia" created by Bush.

Get over it guest - show a little courage. Stand behind your words.
