18. Dear Mr. Peepers: You were my first science teacher and seemed like such a smart person that I now turn to you once
Fri Nov 8, 2024, 04:22 PM
Nov 2024

again about a question that has come up. This OP on DU put up a good informational post but some people around the world claim to now have a problem with Cindy McCain because she is a Republican and so, apparently to them, if she says something about the dire situation of starvation in Northern Gaza it should not appear on sites supporting Democrats. But oddly enough when Republicans and GQP folks made statements giving carte blanche support to the radical right Israeli government there were no such outcries from those same folks around the world about party affiliation when quotes would appear. So golly gee Mr. Peepers I'm all confused about whether it's the political party identified with that is the real problem for some around the world or is it the content? Is it actually that I can't figure it out because I'm low on chocolate milk and cookies? I thank you in advance for your guidance.

Sincerely,

Moniss (and once again for the record it wasn't me who put that gum under my desk)
