Actually, I made about as much as a computer programmer like yourself. I’ve never made swimming upstream, as you put it, a principle, like yourself, but I’ve never refrained from doing so when necessary, including when my open differences with a right-wing leadership got me briefly fired until I was reinstated and the leadership deposed at a mass meeting organized by the union stewards. The dispute was reported in the Ottawa media. And I’ve certainly expressed my differences inside the NDP and, when I was in it, within the Trotskyist movement, for that matter. Anyway, don’t you think it’s best for all that we desist and just continue to ignore each other? This silliness is keeping me from more important things. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
