040909 - Sent letter to Anita saying...

040911 -    1.  Subject: Mosque at Ground Zero
040912 -        Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2010 19:54:12 -0700
040920 -         ..
040921 -    2.  My record on 100908, comments in some depth on the Mosque
040922 -        issue, responding to your letter. ref SDS 17 FW5G
040924 -         ..
040925 -    3.  Found several opinion pieces by Krauthammer, cited in your
040926 -        letter.  His analysis distinguishing legality from moral
040927 -        judgment seems compelling. [...also reported on 100908 1909.
040928 -        ref SDS 17 PZ8V
040930 -         ..
040931 -    4.  Doctor Tanay's analysis, also presented in your letter, of
040932 -        German experience with the Nazis [...reported on 100908 1909.
040933 -        ref SDS 17 ME5U...] was repeated in Japan leading to WWII.
040934 -        Then as now the world ignored rising threats because proactive
040935 -        management is difficult to sell.  Until conflagration explodes,
040936 -        e.g., planes destroy the World Trade Center, people resist
040937 -        taking action to prevent problems.  These same people later ask
040938 -        after the fact, "Why didn't the government do something?"
040940 -         ..
040941 -    5.  The Mosque at ground zero has become a symbol of the right to
040942 -        defend national security, and Western culture as well, weighed
040943 -        against the right to build a Mosque.  Thanks for drawing this
040944 -        matter into sharper focus for me.
040946 -         ..
040947 -    6.  Thanks too for the tip on the movie "Flawless," with Robert
040948 -        DeNiro.  It has been broadcast recently in our area several
040949 -        times, including this evening.  I read the review, and saw some
040950 -        of the movie.  Honestly, it is not my style of entertainment,
040951 -        shown by the list of movies commended for Ross and Claudia on
040952 -        100908. ref SDS 16 BQ5G
040954 -         ..
040955 -    7.  Sorry for such a long delay responding.  This has been a
040956 -        tumultuous time for me.  Ross and Claudia, and their wonderful
040957 -        friends, including Dina and George, have helped cope with a
040958 -        very big loss, reported in memoriam on 100731. ref SDS 3 6V7F
040960 -         ..
040961 -    8.  It was great to get away for awhile.  Now I'm working through
040962 -        issues of meeting the future with only half the team.  It's not
040963 -        as much fun.
040965 -         ..
040966 -    9.  Still have not decided whether to press for review of wrongful
040967 -        death due to denial of care through neglect or willful intent
040968 -        to save money, save face, and save standing as a top 10 cancer
040969 -        center.  Like the mosque at Ground Zero, this is a complex
040970 -        issue, yet starkly simple on the right to recover from medical
040971 -        mistakes, illustrated by our last meeting at Kaiser on 100601.
040972 -        ref SDS 2 P59L
040974 -         ..
040975 -   10.  Again, it was lovely chatting however briefly at Dina and
040976 -        George's social event a few weeks ago.  I apologize for delay
040977 -        responding to your letter, and appreciate that you need not
040978 -        reply.  Just wanted you to know I read your letter with care.
