Paul,
I read your Ninth Ward article this morning and I very much liked your comments and insights. There are many times when I, and my friends, don't agree with you - and my friends tend to let you know it, but this time I think that you're right on.
Thanks--my concern has never been whether people agree or disagree, it's always been about engaging the public in civil discourse. Signed comments are always welcomed.
You might want to check your facts - Kenneth Kirby graduated from Annapolis High School in 1973.
c
Yes I stand corrected. That meant he was 19 when he graduated high school. Okay, so I was off by four years on that--a minor error but an error never the less which I am happy to admit. Thank you.
I assume that means everything else in my article was correct? Try as you might, oh you who has little respect for facts or truth,please keep trying to find something of significance I got wrong. Perhaps if Kirby would come forward with the facts of his background we would all know more. Instead he is leaving it up to others to find out. And while he asks for our vote and tells us next to nothing--why get upset with me for getting a date wrong when the only thing he tells us about his college background is that he was president of a school club??? Now I published your comment because of my respect for facts--even though this is of little significance and not out of respect for you. I am not going to engage in a back and forth with you. If I get a fact wrong again-I will publish your note about it, but why not try really hard and prove me wrong on something of importance?
