But, really, I felt a whole lotta not love from you
there, jbor.  Perhaps it's our history, we each tend
to assume the other is out to dismiss or demean the
other.  But we do try to overcome that, I believe, so
... but it does tend to be discouraging, spending
weeks putting this stuff together, and what little
reaction you get seems dismissive at best.  But, hey,
at least it's a response, so ... although perhaps I
should be pleasantly surprised I didn't even get much
of that this time, so ... but, again, I'm exhausted,
exaspirated, et al.  I might yet have a handful of
notes to throw into the void here, but ... but, on the
one hand, while I do think there's some allusion here
to that occult roots of Nazism, my general thrust has
been, I belive, Yates', and, perhaps, even Pynchon's,
that is, the occult roots--supplement, if you will--of
the Enlightenment, science, et al. ...
