[kj] OT : FY2006 Defense Budget

[Juliet Pleming]

When I read over what I wrote, I was worried that it could come over a
bit arrogant. What I meant, like you say is that there are ignorant
people wherever you go. I suppose we are all ignorant in our own way,
and by definition we are unaware of our ignorance. We can see others
ignorance more clearly because we are not so involved in it. No
nationality or person has a monopoly on ignorance or knowledge or
intelligence. I hope I make myself perfectly clear or am I just trying
to dig myself out of the hole I am digging for myself.

oh i dont think they have a monopoly on ignorance, its just more
noticeable as they are in the spotlight. I love the place and the
people i tend to meet, even in NW Arkansas. We all have our viewpoint
based on the information we receive. As Peter would no doubt agree
with.

not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection..."
