That was definitely a "teachable moment" for me. You are correct. I have an aversion to labels, yet I was using them myself without having thought them through. It's time to remove those labels from my discussions. Thank you.
No problem. We all have a tendancy to do it, because it becomes part of "the way people speak." We've been condititioned for it.

I looked at the Peggy Noonan book on Amazon and was impressed by what I saw. I'm getting ready to download it now.
Hope you like it. It's been some years since I read it -- I should probably read it again as a "vaccination" for the next two+ months.
