DISappointed to note that your comment, "RetiredAirForce" was clearly posted without reading the very significant and articulate analysis with perceptive brief for our US CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLE & VALUES by an outstanding GOP lawyer, Ken Starr! NO condrumun whatsoever for me having read that column. I urge YOU and other readers to read Starr's column and then comment, please. THANKS! Here we go... John W. Eyster

THANKS for the inquiry about CAPS, Steve! You reminded me that I had NOT cited the original explanation to inform readers who started reading WE THE PEOPLE blog after it was launched on July 2, 2009 and a couple times since then. That explanation is on the first WE THE PEOPLE blog - use this link: http://gazettextra.com/weblogs/we-people....
I agree that I always respond to a DIRECT E-MAIL using the gazettextra.com link, Steve.

Reading the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this morning, I found it very interesting to look at the PHOTO ALBUM from the annual Kwanzaa ceremony held last (Monday) night at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society in Milwaukee. Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration honoring African-American heritage and is observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 each year. This year is the 45th anniversary of Kwanzaa. IF you too want to see the pictures, "Celebrating Kwanzaa" - LINK: http://www.jsonline.com/multimedia/photo.... Posted on Mon., 12/26/2011, 8:11 pm. Let's continue to celebrate the richness of our American DIVERSITY! Here we go... John W. Eyster

Fascinating comments! I continue to find it intriguing that readers are NOT able to recognize that the role of BLOGGER is very different from that of INSTRUCTOR. Why not?! This blog - WE THE PEOPLE - was designed originally to be POLITICAL COMMENTARY with clear EDITORIAL/ADVOCACY... I would agree with anyone and everyone who advocates that INSTRUCTORS ought to be teaching students to COGITATE carefully with rationale analysis... again Fall 2011 semester in my Pol 280 - Terrorism class @UW-Waukesha, the students very specifically complimented the fact that their opinions/views were respected and encouraged. There is a significant difference between being a BLOGGER and being an INSTRUCTOR! Here we go... John W. Eyster

With all due respect to "Badglvr" - I read COMMENTS regularly with interest. I do respect your dislike for ALL CAPS. Through the months since WE THE PEOPLE blog launched in July 2009, various persons have commented on the ALL CAPS style. That style WILL NOT CHANGE! Did anyone complaining about William Faulkner's writing style change it?! NOT! I assert that each writer has the right to set her/his own style. So... IF you are offended by the ALL CAPS style, CHOOSE NOT TO READ my WE THE PEOPLE blog. Here we go... John W. Eyster
