I'm curious - How does one ignore something by pointing it out?

I don't have a "knee jerk" reaction- and my comment about Rice has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone's comments regarding Bush.

I'm questioning your questioning of her motives. What, pray tell, did you mean by that statement? The conclusions I draw are not very nice- that perhaps she is using this crisis to further her own ambitions? Truly, I am curious.

You can't ignore something you're not aware of... you can only "be ignorant" of it. So in order to purposely "ignore" it, she must first be aware of it.

I really don't like being lumped in with all the people that fvcked up the efforts on the Gulf Coast. I know Rice was angry, but it's uncalled for to blame every single American for that.

If only she could have kept her essay pointed in the right direction, I'd be happy to support it.

I think she is using 'You' as a metaphore for America. Not people in particular. Kinda like when we refer to America as 'She'....Hmmmm, But then it might be a 'She' Ever been to the Jersey Shore?...kinda smells like..uhh... I always pictured America to be more of an old man. Look at a map. Florida does look like it needs a shot of Viagra....
