Cycle of ill will endless

Poor Sarah Palin, Kathleen Parker and especially poor Connie Zimmerman (“Palin attack vicious betrayal,” Letters, July 19): By Connie Zimmerman’s intimated credo (words to live by) no one should be attacked viciously by anyone. Yet she violated her very own principles vilifying Kathleen Parker.

She should have done some soul-searching before she leaped into the arena of speaking ill will of another’s opinion, which in itself opened the door to denigrate her opinion. This evokes the metaphorical contradictions: what goes around comes around, versus the “Net of Indra” and spontaneous and simultaneous arising: the philosophy that no one can blame anyone for anything.

Connie Zimmerman never would have had the opportunity to write her words if it wasn’t for Kathleen Parker; Parker, her words because of Sarah Palin, and me, by Zimmerman’s words; ’round and ’round.

And to compound her obvious contradictions, she also disparaged the S-R for printing Parker’s opinion! It makes me kind of wonder: why did the Review print hers? Answer: fairness.

Back to what goes around comes around: If Connie Zimmerman judges, but really believes in this value, what’s that all about?
