Yes, Virginia, when a mistake is made, the smart thing to do is to admit it and reverse course. That takes real courage. The way that Edwards stubbornly refuses to own up to his mistakes serves only to convince me that we should not concern ourselves with his putative virtue or vice. Rather, we should concern ourselves with our own welfare and the fact that if Edwards got his way, he'd be able to destabilize society. Brrrr! It sends chills down my spine just thinking about that. Technically, I find that some of Edwards's choices of words in his expostulations would not have been mine. For example, I would have substituted "politically incorrect" for "flocinauinihilipilification" and "ruthless" for "disdenominationalize." I want to make this clear, so that those who do not understand deeper messages embedded within sarcastic irony -- and you know who I'm referring to -- can process my point. Edwards yields to the mammalian desire to assert individuality by attracting attention. Unfortunately, for Edwards, "attract attention" usually implies "hammer away at the characters of all those who will not help him feed blind hatred". After having read this, you may think that Pres. Edwards Kerry-Edwards is a prime example of the ignorance, naivete, and plain old stupidity that he so adamantly criticizes. Nevertheless, you should always remember that there have been reports of rampant drunkenness, performances by strippers, public nudity, and other licentious and disrespectful behavior at every gathering of his grunts.
