Why did she lie about Nancy Reagan's involvement with the AIDS crisis? Why THAT lie?

hey, there is no reason for us to quarrel over this stuff. i appreciate your noting her apology here, and that you're glad she did.

i do hope you understand the import of my points. i don't intend to shame you or anyone, but it's hard to be silent when hurtful things occur and are not acknowledged, for whatever reason.

hey, i yelled and cursed at the young woman who sideswiped me on a rotary this morning, and it freaked me out so bad, i ended up practically crying and then hugging her! i think we're gonna be friends; how weird is that? she made a mess of my door, yet i'm plotting to take her for coffee, what else?

i've been completely freaked out by the tone on these forums (i have only recently been commenting and will likely stop soon; demands etc.), from both sides. and it's easy to get swept up in it. everyone gets defensive and then offensive and takes offense, and so it goes. and we just forget ...we're all in this together.

we're all so invested, which is basically a good thing, but we truly have to keep our eyes on the prize, as the man said. treasuring that prize means kindness, so please know that was my intent, but however i may have failed in execution, i truly apologize.

i hope we can move forward more constructively. and more lovingly.

metta.
