Consider how insane the P-List can be about this
stuff. 
The so called political argument school here is
nothing more than lit-crit. The essays that Dave
Monroe posted are the thoughts and ideas that the
"political" school has been presenting here. When the
so called "lit-critters" argue againt these ideas they
are attacked on a personal level. The politcal is
personal? 



Barbara, I'm asking you, please, shut up. If you've
nothing to say except that Terrance hates or Robert
hates, keep quite. I happen to know that Terrance
studied Chomsky. Not because he hated him but because
he liked him a lot. How do you think the people that
paid for his eduaction or his students would react if
they read your post? Terrance hates Chomsky? 

It's dishonest and spiteful and it's not a game, it's
going to cause someone trouble. 

Stop it!
