Kelly,

I was talking about quotes like the one below. Rush is saying it is
possible to do this but you won't find out how from me. You have to find
out for yourself. Now, I realize that part of this is an act. Under neath
he is scared out of his mind. But, he can't change his act or he will
appear weak. I feel far less compassion for him than I would for any real
person going through the same situation. He caused that lack of feeling. I
suppose if it were blindness and he came to me asking for advice as to how
he could use technology to do his show, I would help. But, I would
certainly encourage him to discuss what he is using with his listeners. (Or
maybe I would recommend ScreenPower for Windows--no I wouldn't.

I want to be clear that the ambivalence comes from witnessing the harm he
has done by allowing people to feel it is okay to be hateful and his
insistence that he is always right. If he is always right then he should be
sure to be right now.
