[You have to use your imagination now to hear the sarcasm, folks.] Think what you like Eric. I made clear to you I'm overwhelmed with work and haven't time to get into a long and complicated discussion. I also made clear that I am not willing nor have I been authorized to act as spokesperson for any "crowd." Frankly, the tone of your posts makes it sound to me much more like you're trying to win points in some perceived battle than desirous of learning something new (and this is surprising to me because it's not how I remember you). If you're genuinely interested, look at the literature of the Amherst School over the past 4 years to see a significant number of people thinking creatively about socialism. (And if I've misread your tone, my apologies.) Sincerely, Blair Blair Sandler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
