[Sca-cooks] Recipegate OT reply from Isabella

[Daniel & Elizabeth Phelps]

Yep, Adamantius, I agree. IMo, I prefer Hillary's awkward honesty to Queen 
Barbara's hypocrisy. With apologies for it being both off topic and out of 
period, (unless you are talking about the philosophy of leadership, a topic 
that has no boundaries in time,) here's another story on the same thread I 
share for your reading pleasure, from a columnist I particularly like:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/15/roland.martin/index.html

Apologies again for being off topic, but it's interesting anyway, especially 
this year.
YIS,
Isabella
PS: It really annoys me when people in leadership positions (in any 
organization) assume the people they are putatively leading are stupid. 
Again, the internet makes it real difficult to get away with that kind of 
nonsense these days! (;-)

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like 
administering medicine to the dead.
