Grazie, Emilio.

I think part of the problem is a philosophy, often pressed by the liberal media and others, that to DEFEND your point of view is to be mean-spirited or argumentative. IF you're Republican/conservative/Christian/American/Bush/Southern/whatever (take your pick and add some). If you're on the "other side," however, you can press the fight as far and as flaming as you like and it's only "freedom of speech" or "my opinion" or something of the like.

So many of the posts on this list recently (not all, but many) that have simply pointed out counter arguments or different philosophies have been declared somehow presumptuous or arrogant or otherwise invalid, hence (I think) your comment.

Many of us Americans ARE very proud of our country, our government, our system of laws, and we WILL stand up for it proudly. Not arrogantly. Not mindlessly. Not to be pushy.

And I can't wait to get to visit Italy again. Che bella!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
