Sorry, but that's just my opinion. > > 2) The subjects of really questionable political importance, as far as > I've > seen. Well, that's not true. The media is burning up with discussion about Loughner's culpability, the Tea Party's, etc. We have an obligation to speak meaningfully about what happened. As Mason pointed out, Loughner asked Giffords about whether words have meaning, not why she is allowing Mexicans in to the USA. The left is bent on making it about the latter but that is a false assessment. In fact, even if Loughner did say it was about the Mexicans, I would still say that it was brain chemistry and not hate radio that is responsible. > 3) We don't know about this case, really, do we?

My assessment is guesswork as well, but buttressed by school administrators, professors, and just about everybody who came in contact with Loughner for the past 5 years. The problem with the Loughner = Tea Party school is that it finds this information inconvenient. Typical in some ways of the way that the left operates unfortunately. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
