I am not saying that based on your last comments. I am saying that based on our discussions over time I have come to the conclusion that you are indeed a collectivist. I am also saying that I don't think you realize it on any conscious level. You tend to have opinions on individual political matters, not one larger overriding image of what the government should look like. When you take all of your opinions together this is the impression I have gotten.
Also I am not saying that you don't deserve to hold these opinions, or have a job or should be black listed, so I think the McCarthy label is a bit off.

How do you get "collectivist thought" out of a summary of a dead philosopher's writing?? I didn't even say I agreed with him (or her) and am at a loss to see how you get collectivism out of it in the first place. McCarthyism Alert on Tim.
