I had teachers in high school and in three different colleges in two states
who called themself a Marxist.  Maybe it was the classes I took - heavy on
the arts, liberal arts and political and social sciences.

You're right.  For me to come up with the substantial evidence is going to
take a substantial amount of time.  However, I will work on it in my free
time and get the paper back to you sometime before the end of the term ;-)
