Shame on Me
After discussion with some of my readers, I realized that I was off-base entirely on the Slim-Fast/Whoopi Goldberg issue. Just as much as Ms. Goldberg should be free to speak her mind at any time on any subject, so too should her employer be able to speak its mind by making the decision to fire her or maintain her contract.
I was wrong, but I’ve learned from this experience. Thanks to everyone who helped me see the light.

I just want to say that I really appreciate your willingness to examine and re-evaluate your feelings about this issue. It gives me hope that you’ll eventually come around on the rest of it, but one battle at a time. :)

That’s what’s great about these interactive blogs. You get feedback, have exchanges and the communication can refine and strengthen your argument or change it if someone else makes points you hadn’t considered.

Besides, no shame on you. If you’d persisted with a wrong argument despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, THEN you would’ve deserved shame (COUGHpresidentCOUGHbushCOUGH) :-)
