That's an interesting formulation: it takes everything as given except 'policies'. But what if 'policies' are the ineluctable outcome of all the stuff that this formulation leaves out? Suppose changing 'policies' is a lot like trying to make water more dry, rather than wearing a raincoat and keeping the water *off* one's ass? It's a classic liberal approach, really. It's a lot like the way liberals try to 'help the poor'. The problem with poor people is that they don't have enough money, but this is the very problem that neither liberals nor conservatives will address. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
