-- " Luke, your comment was offensive, uncalled for, and entirely

inappropriate for this forum. And you are in a vanishingly small

minority in this country. I thank God every day that Bush is our

president, but I don't feel it's appropriate to make my political

beliefs an issue here except under strongest provocation. " --

Dave , I have to take offense with your comments . You claim that it

is uncalled for Luke to state his opinion of the president . Then you

go and do the same thing . Everyone has the right to state their

opinion on this matter freely .

Hi Peter,

If you are driving to Montreal tomorrow be careful. Weather is also

quite bad around here today. Freezing rain + snow!!! You know,the

usual joys of Canadian winter...You can't even take a Leica outside on

a day like this :o(

 

<p>

 

Enjoy your visit at the auto show!

I'm in Williamsburg Brookyln, NYC. Ok, it's really Bushwick, but

this is a nice neighborhood!

As for the lousy American political squabble, it has no place

here. But if it did, I would have to be rolling around on the floor

laughing at someone whom I won't name who seems to believe

that Bush is a popular president? A good president? Luke is in

a "vanishingly small minority"? I beg to differ. Approval ratings

only tell you about who answers these questionaires.

I know we all have our own opinons on this one as much as on

whether our summicrons or noctiluxes are better, but we have to

be able to express these opinions or we are no longer living in a

free country. As for a free forum, let's try to stay on topic, shall

we?

Grew up in Birmingham, England. Moved as far away as fast as I

could. After time in Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester moved to the

US & spent a couple of cold winters in Chicago before I saw the

light. Now living in Boulder, Colorado "Utopia surrounded by

reality". Working in Orange County M-F each week, a different kind

of reality. United Airlines love me.

I would never in a million years have mentioned my political

preferences on this forum if it had not been for Luke's gratuitous,

insulting, and offensive remarks. I did not feel I could let such

statements go unanswered.

 

<p>

 

However, upon reflection, I apologize to Tony and the list that I

replied as I did. It would have been far better to have allowed Luke

to stand alone in his tasteless effort to introduce partisan politics

into this non-political forum.

Norwich, Vermont, which is on the Vt./N.H. border (near Hanover,

N.H./Dartmouth College). Hey, R. Watson, I took a class years

ago with Cole Weston, who spoke of E.W's trips to Mexico. I'd

like to pack both my Leicas and view camera gear and drop

down for a visit! I design and build my own view cameras, and

have written about this for View Camera Magazine.

Jacques...I'm glad you attend the annual Pow-wow in my

community. It's a great event for our community and surrounding

population. It's also a great place to photograph. BTW I've never

seen another Leica on the scene. I've seen square hasselblads,

xpans, contax etc... I was one of the founding committee

members of the event in 1991. I've also done alot of the

pow-wow pictures for our community newspaper. See you there

next year.
