Point taken. This is an interesting criticism, one for which I don't really have a satisfactory answer. After all in a sense, many of us are trying to be lone heroes here on PEN-L. Railing against systematic capitalist exploitation is utterly futile when most of the victims of such exploitation do not consciously see themselves as victims of some titanic power struggle between the classes. So, are we tilting at windmills here? I don't know. But what's the alternative? -raghu. -- "I like to reminisce with people I don't know." - Steven Wright _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
