Mr. Fallopian doesn't doesn't want to be tied to any salutary doctine like tuballigaturism with its promise of relief for the harassed look and a little comic relief as well.
"antidisestablishmentarianism" used to the the longest word in the OED

My question was directed to jbor because of the names that I'm familiar with on the list, jbor is well qualified to identify Mike and he did so

My point is Pynchon's use of wheels within wheels, circuits within circuits and remarkably lucid perceptions of what drives belief. The term "libertarianism" itself has made quite a circuit having started out life on the Left.
As CoL49 progresses, we'll see what the Tristero is about.
