Cross-posted at Random Fate.
I recently posted on my own concept of honor, and how I feel the honor of my country has been soiled and continues to be soiled by the choice of our government to maintain the extra-legal prison an Guantanamo Bay.
In that post, I disagreed with an assertion made by another blogger, someone whom I respect immensely.
I want to make it very clear I was not saying that the Average Tobacco Chewing Joe of Cadillac Tight has no sense of honor.
ATCJoe and I have had a relatively long (in blogworld time) history of tussles and disagreements that have never degenerated to name-calling or a loss of respect for each other.
I want to make clear, unequivocally, that ATCJoe is at least as honorable as I am, perhaps more so.
For my regular readers, those that I have, I fully expect you to read what ATCJoe has to say with an open mind, and if you disagree with him, you can post comments in his weblog, but be sure to have both logic and facts upon your side, because he is a smart cookie, and tolerates fools no better than I do.
I tolerate those who do not respect my friends even less than I do fools.
