ANd this seems to suggest that he is not interested in
calling attention to himself. Something Easter abou that, but
there is a BIGGGGGGGGGG EGO there too. The stuff I read
here about P being a guy that has no ego and is a salt
of the earth working class kinda regular guy is funny, because
it's kinda like the reading of the man that cyrus
advocates, but of course cyrus says to read the book only.
In other words, theses comments are the mirror that
the P reader sees in him. There are no facts to
support these "down to earth" no ego readings of
the man just as there are is no evidence that he
is anit-globaliztion or anti-american or
whatever anti- ... and ISM shows up in the
papers as W travels about and academics swing
their theories around political and ideological
manifestos, the evidence, and is that P has a huge
ego.
