Comment on a measure of primacy by William F. DeVault

William F. DeVault — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:18:06 +0000

I understand your agenda and believe you are doing the right thing by your conscience. More power to you, and I would not argue your point. This is a tough one for me, but in the end I had to pick a vector. I guess the turning point for me was mid-way through the primary season…Obama was overtaking Hillary and there were sudden calls for her to quit, as she was being “divisive” in the face of a probable losing outcome. No one said that to Obama when he got in a race that was considered a lock for Hillary. Why not?

I still stand by my notion that McCain would not be a disaster as Prez, and that in a world where one must sometimes fish or cut bait, I am going to take stand on principle, my principle, this time. I wish Obama the best in the election, I think he’ll make a good President, and I like Joe Biden.

But the shameful treatment of Hillary does not leave me in a mood to concede to those who believe that Political Party loyalty is a good thing. And I love the new McCain commercial with the Hillary delegate who is going to vote for McCain in November.

I was an early supporter of Hillary. She fought hard and I respect her committment to several issues that she has made a mainstay of her life’s work. She is talented and I’m sure will continue these same fights in the Senate with even greater respect.

I am now supporting Obama. I am pleased with the Biden selection. Hillary would have been great, but I totally understand some of the obsticals to her selection.

What is equally clear to me is there is the very same difference between night and day that seperates both Hillary and Obama from John McCain. I woulod have to reverse my core principal views on oo many issues to vote for McCain. I would have to be satisfied with the current direction of this country to vote for McCain and I will not settle for another 4 years of misguided policy that weakens us at home and abroad. That sacrafices civil liberties. That weakens the economic future of our children and trashes our respect as a legitamate moral authority around the world.

I supported Hillary Clinton because so much was at stake. I’ll have to support Obama for the same reason.

I will, Susan. Death would please too many people.

Yeah, six hour reading, broken into three two hour sets. That’s scaled way back from the original plan, which had me going for the World Record, which is over 100 hours with a five minute break every hour. I have a lot to say, and I want to help B&N move some books.

Evangelist has been a journey, hasn’t it?

Comment on my official one word blog post by William F. DeVault

William F. DeVault — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 11:12:14 +0000

Nemicorn is a two-dollar word I coined back in the 70’s, in the poem of the same name (which will be appearing on Amomancer in the next day or two. It has two meanings: A mythic beast, generally depicted as a blood-red or black unicorn with a horn made of precious metals, or someone or something you love so much that it takes on mythic proportions to you. I have been fortunate enough to have known and even touched more than one Nemicorn in my life, although all I have ever wanted is one.
