"Congrats. You've caused 100,000 people to waste about 30 seconds of their
time. Add that up, and I think you've got a month of wasted human hours."

How much time have Maoists, Trotskyists, Greens, anarchists, and the rest
of the thumb-sucking ultra-left wasted? I was at a meeting of peace
activists in Los Angeles recently and was forced to patiently endure while
a woman gave a long rant about how important it was for us to introduce
Americans to the writings of Bob Avakian. Why is the ultra-left so tolerant
of ultra-left drivel, if it is so concerned about wasting people's time?
