I stopped reading her messages because if I have to go through everyone's
reply, her original message, the strange quotes and all of that to get to
what she thinks it isn't worth it. I'm on other lists with her, and others
have addressed the problem, but apparently it doesn't matter.

why does your email program place you at the bottom of the message when you
reply? I think that is why Joe finds it hard to read. I just scroll down to
the bottom, but it would be a little easier if you just did a go to top
command when your screen reader once you are in the message body so that we
all can read your messages as intended.

And I surely have no issue with you exercising your American right of free
speech.  I meant that some of the quotes have disturbing, even scary,
implications.  I intended what I said as a conversation starter, nothing
more.

system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry,
but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam
of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The
slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are
being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a
regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating
system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others, will be
encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself - educating your own
judgment. Those that stay must remember, always and all the time, that they
are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs
of this society.
