1984 Foreword: Ingratitude

[Dave Monroe]

Well, I skip an awful lot here as well, so ... but I
figured, well, for those without immediate access,
and/or for those with itching to get going on it. 
Though, again, I'm genuinely surprised that
many-to-most of you don't have it already. 
Particularly interesting as it does touch on all sorts
of "controversial" topoi here.  Not sure to what
extent it affects previous, er, "discussion" thereof,
sav that it sure does manifest an interest in politics
past and present, but ... well, I now expect that
discussion will eventually snowball as that piece does
find its way around.  And at leat I've done some of
the legwork on sources 'n' references 'n' such.  As
I'm wont to do.  As I want to do.  Atone for my
unavailability throughout much of Slow Learner (though
recent events well offlist didn't help matters,
either).  Okay, gotta run now, but ...
