Hey kid, As I said in the other post, you had a perfect right to lash out.
It was my fault for being unclear thus giving you the wrong impression. I didn't notice because criticizing you wasn't anywhere in my thoughts. With regard to my provocation, this is sometimes necessary rather like hitting the mule with a two by four because you need to get its attention. Looking at the left from my radical position, it seems to me that highly inaccurate ideas are spread around the internet and through the lists. They all talk to each other and, during the process, statements that are actually lies are reinforced and become facts. A good example was the last John Hopkins survey of civilian deaths. I didn't get a single answer to my oft repeated statement. "If the survey is correct, 1,000 civilians a day should be dying in Iraq from violence. This would produce about 1,000 funerals and probably 7,000 family mourners. That's every day. Where is the evidence that such a carnage is taking place - even though the bastards are killing women and children every day? The answer is that there is no evidence, which makes the survey highly suspect to an impartial observer. But, nowadays there seem to be few impartial observers. So, perhaps I can be of use as a somewhat impartial observer - in this case of the left. (I do it to the right, too.) But, believe me, I think your contributions to Futurework are great - though I will continue to hit hard the people you cite if they need it. I will also criticize what you say if I think you need it - but never as less than a friend. Harry ********************************** Henry George School of Social Science of Los Angeles.
