In fact despite all the hand wringing and howling you hear, President Obama has governed pretty much as a moderate Republican might've done decades ago. He's called a "radical" (code these days for Communist) but he's actually pretty much in line in terms of policy with Richard Nixon, not a guy who'd have cottoned to being called a Communist. <br /><br />The one true left candidate we have this time is Bernie Sanders, a Socialist from Vermont who has little chance of winning, but who will put some of the issues on the table that need to be discussed. <br /><br />As for "Ms.", I still use it when I talk to folks about whose status I'm uncertain and I doubt few if any know that I'm trying to be decorous, but merely saying it funny. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-65752029748938904402015-06-15T08:58:41.215-04:002015-06-15T08:58:41.215-04:00I don't know if Ms. magazine is available in ...I don't know if Ms. magazine is available in the UK but there was until recently a magazine for teenage girls called "MIZZ" - perhaps British teenage girls don't know how to pronounce Ms. When I first saw Ms. Marvel in the '70s I didn't have a clue how to say "Ms." and I assumed it must be some alternative pronunciation of "Miss" so for me she was Miss Marvel which kind of defeated the feminist angle they were aiming at. I've read that Hillary Clinton isn't that much different from a conservative - rather like our Labour Party in Britain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
