Well, Barbara, if that really was you...I have a couple of things to say.

1. I generally totally disagree with your political opinions (while never faulting your effectiveness in presenting them)...and...

2. I read your autobiography and have to admit that despite (1) above I can't help but admire your intelligence and general strength of character, as shown throughout your life.

I suspect you would be a very interesting person to know, and to talk with.

I also think you married Canada's very own version of Darth Vader, incarnate...but that's just my opinion, and like all people I have subjective opinions, based on my own limited experience of life, and my own prejudices and preconceptions...so that's the way it goes.

And if it wasn't you, well, what the heck...
