Hmmmn (scratches, well, something) ...

I now see why the "politically correct," perhaps even
relativism, is conservative, ultimately serving the
right rather than, as the conservatives claim it does,
the left.  Even "fascist" (not to mention "Nazi") can
be claimed to have been drained of any "pejorative"
sense.  What, are we being too hard on the fascists? 
But I susepcted from that earlier post of yours, Phil,
that you've read yr Theweleit.  Very good.  I'd be
interested in an explication of that possible
Theweleit-Pynchon-Vond connection.  Not that I
disagree, just hadn't occured to me, and I've never
reread Vineland, so ... so Wilkommen, is all ...
