Dear Bob Schieffer

In response to Bob Schieffer's interview of Ron Paul on this Sunday's "Face the Nation" (Nov. 11, 2007), I just had to write the following:

Dear Bob Schieffer,

Shame on you for asking Ron Paul if he really thought he had a chance to be elected U.S. President. Would you say the same thing to a child who said she/he wanted to be President or a Congressperson or a doctor or an astronaut? You know the chances for most children for those occupations are almost nil, but I'll bet you wouldn't tell them that. You wouldn't want to discourage them from trying. So don't try to discourage Mr. Paul and the rest of his supporters either.

OK. It's out of my system... for now.
