If Reich was just another crackpot, then:
1. Why did the US Feds bust up his equipment, burn his notebooks, and put
him in jail? (It can't happen here [see "extreme rendition," and since when
did rendition mean...?)
2. Its pretty, um, intuitive, that when Reich's son showed him the Radium
ring that he'd been given, Reich had him bury it. This was at a time when
there were clocks, watches, and rings featuring the deathly cold light from
Radium.
3. Anyone who has been single for any length of time would have a hard time
arguing with the idea of sexual economics, or with the inefficacy of trying
to get the chi moving by the usual single-handed techniques. (What was the
name of the woman who was forced out of Clinton's cabinet partially for
suggesting that perhaps education should include effective methods to
unblock the flow of chi, orgone, pranya, call it what you will?)
