That's plausible, but it would be interesting to do historical/journalistic research to see if that's true. In any event, actions (the movement) is almost always more important than any individual jerk's words. The words have to fall on a fertile field. (An exception would be if someone yells "fire" in a crowded theater. But even then, people have to have a nervous mind-set beforehand for this yelling to cause a panic.) -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
