Never did finish a single novel of hers. but that's not because I'm not
into her politics or her philosophy. obviously i don't dig her politics
but i don't like  politics much.  not sure i like pynchon's politics but
i've never quite figured out if he has politics worth digging or not.
probably not. 

anyway, it's pretty clear that america is not in decline and that the
myth of american immensity and vastness and manifest manifesto rugged
individualism is not a conspiracy of the bush clan and condi rice cause
it was here, as frost says in his poem (see Blake or Milton) and as we
read in M&D long before Britannia possessed her. and it's not going down
but up. now go ahead and accuse me of jingo jango isms and whatever but
you have to cause you got nothin else to say.
