Your description of me is not quite accurate. I think "decrepit" would be far more accurate than "aging." My interventions have been limited for the last two weeks because of a series of e-mail problems on campus.
I had not realized that my either/or comment had been repeated so many times. I did not mean it to be some sort of scholarly insight but rather a question that I have seriously considered for quite some time -- the degree which the two forms of exploitation played in the development of England. I tend to go back and forth in terms of the priority, but I really wondered why you held what seemed to be your position of exclusivity. From: PEN-L list [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Louis Proyect I am also highly insulted by your own one sentence Zen Buddhist interventions into this thread, as if "Why does it have to be either or", a point you've only made 1000 times, is supposed to represent scholarly insights. The sheer laziness on this list makes me feel like I've wandered into an AOL chatroom for aging tenured professors. What a waste of time. Michaelperelman.wordpress.com
