From Dorian de Wind, Military Affairs Columnist at The Moderate Voice:
My dear sister, who is a faithful reader and critic of both my political rants and of my more sedate human interest writings, often has some good advice for me, especially when I use the Spanish word “pend***” to describe the present occupant of the people’s house.
She tells me that one can be just as persuasive and passionate – perhaps even more effective — without being uncivil.
Reflecting on her advice, I re-read Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham City Jail, written by a man who had every reason to be angry, combative and “inelegant.”
