I forgot to ping you. 172 and 194.

Hope you're feeling better.

To: RKBA Democrat
I saw your reply to the stand-alone thread, and I thank you for it.

On another thread, a FReeper asked "what is it, really, that they are afraid of?"

I replied:

"What are they afraid of?"
Better to ask "Who among them fears what?"
1. The Top: loss of power and personal graft.
2. The Academe: loss of prestige (I should have added "and tenure"), influence, and a steady supply of co-eds to seduce.
3. The "rank-and-file": whatever the Top and Academe tells them to fear.

I'm aware of the top-down "marching-order" and "talking-point" manner of organization among the left. While I did *imply* that the solution depends on a resurgence of individualism overcoming the abhorrent top-directed mob-mentality among the Left, you are absolutely correct in twitting me for not taking that sufficiently to heart when I wrote my little tract.

This requires thought.

Thanks.

oh, and I am feeling much improved.

getting fed up (literally and figuratively) with lung-butter, but overall I am almost back to full operational capacity.

thanks!
