I agree with the sentiment, it's a noble idea and cause, however, don't you find it ironic that 90% of your post is about the thoughts and ideas of Mrs. Rooseve

- acangiano 16y agoWe're not discussing Mrs. Roosevelt per se though, are we? We're discussing her ideas, which is the point. :)
- gregory80 16y agowell yes we are discussing her, since you make multiple mentions of her (1st graph, block quote, summary), my comment is about her, and your defense is again, about her. There have been many figures throughout history who have established similar ideas (the lower class write about people... the upper class write about ideas) but you didn't choose to quote from them, you choose to quote from Ms. Roosevelt. Essentially, I'm suggesting that you could have pulled any quote about this idea, but you used mrs. roosevelt. I think you did this b/c you admire her and it supports your idea, but you used her as your vehicle. My point is that it's a mix, and even when trying to advocate that we take the moral high ground and not chit-chat about people, we (wait for it) chit-chat about people. Hence the original statement... "dont you find it ironic" Regardless, it was a good read. thanks.
