"I would prefer the world
to be as you idealize it..
but it ain't necessarily so."

I don't know that I idealize the world. I simply refuse to factor Condi's race into the equation, that's all. I won't factor her gender in, either. That kinda thing just sounds like excuses to me. I am unclear as to where you stand with regard to C. Rice. First she's a sista sista, is that right? But wait--then isn't she a sista sista working for herself? And doesn't that then make her a Condi Condi instead?
