there's a good idea in a tough period such as the present: give up.
The thing is that this doesn't have to be a tough period for leftists,
what with so many Americans opposed to the Iraq War and feeling
economically insecure, but leftists, for reasons that are obvious and
not so obvious, don't seem to be able to converge on these two points
and get ourselves organized first of all, to change the balance of
political power.
