Whoa there, Gomer. Had you included jbor's entire statement, instead of 
clipping to distort his point, you wouldn't have needed to say anything 
you said in response to the snip.

Here's the part you left out:

jbor agrees that Pynchon is not endorsing the right....."far from it."

Enough straw for one day.

Can't see why anyone would have trouble with the entirety of jbor's 
post. Balanced summation of the issues, imo.
