Mark, you all are building a very tall structure on a sandy foundation. My original point was that Chris Hedges's article was written in such a way that it would not be understood by people who would actually benefit from the ideas presented. That's all. My point is that anger at the government is very deep and widespread. People are pissed off! Some people are turning to the teabag movement based on a misunderstanding of what that movement is and what our movement is. If we stop writing and talking like we're at a symposium for Ph.D. candidates and start writing and talking in a way that can connect to the people who are justifiably pissed off, then maybe we can get somewhere. It ain't brain surgery, comrades!

Does he think we're suggesting a machine gun nest to mow down any errant teabaggers with second thoughts (or first ones)? Let me go on record here as saying that I think that's a bad idea. (I would also like to go on record as wondering why the fuck I have to say something so bloody obvious.) Is Tom proposing some kind of special orientation to them? If they're not a movement, as we all agree, how would we do that? I suppose we could get Louis and Les to start an insurance company and start pumping money to call out the retirees or something. But I don't know what Tom's suggesting and how he expects us to do it.
