Doug, Far be it from me to say that someone shouldn't change his positions. I've often thought it would be especially nice if you would change yours. <VBG>

Or to quote Dan Ackroyd... “Jane, you ignorant slut!...” <g>

Seriously though, I didn't mean to be interpreting Powell's position or commenting on Powell directly. I only meant to describe what I thought Belafonte was saying. My own political views are niether conservative nor liberal—in the way those terms are used today—and are seldom discussed here unless to take exception to some extreme bigotry or an exceptionally egregious political outrage.
