John,
I don't necessarily agree with the thrust of the message from Ford, but he
damn sure wasn't whining about "unfair". He was trying to make a point as he
saw it. No we may see it differently, but sarcasm and accusing him of making
up stories to voice his view as waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of line.

We pass the word around; we ponder how the case is put by different
people, we read the poetry; we meditate over the literature; we play
the music; we change our minds; we reach an understanding. Society
evolves this way, not by shouting each other down, but by the unique
capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend each other.
