Revolution #3

[H2O Man]

50. Thanks.

I think that Bernie always is respectful of his opposition. And I like that. I remember how when Paul and I would travel to distant places to "debate" our opposition, we focused on the concepts that those people had rational minds, reasons for their beliefs, and the right to their opinion. That didn't mean we thought their positions were correct, or their opinions were equally valid to our's.

I remember sitting in Governor Mario Cuomo's "meeting room," with Paul and I on one side of the table, and our opposition and their hired "experts" on the other side. Our opposition was very hostile towards us. They openly insulted us ....we were "living in the past" and that type of nonsense. But we remained focused on telling the Truth.

In such situations, that's the best one can do. It was our responsibility to tell the Truth. But it wasn't up to us if the opposition would accept and act upon it.

The governor's people watched the discussion closely. And, when the meeting was over, they knew.
