Reply #88: very interesting ... thanks ...

i wouldn't write you off as a "leftwing weirdo" ... i thought what you wrote was very interesting ...

one correction though ... Chomsky and MIT are in Cambridge, not Boston ... the cities are only a mile or two apart geographically but much further apart in other ways ...

on the point of reforming capitalism, i pretty much agree with what you wrote ... my campaign to put at least some limits on massive wealth to protect our democratic institutions is predicated on 2 themes: first, the intent would be to allow as much possible freedom to the individual as we can ... and second, i see it as a pragmatic step in the right direction ... i don't see any sense in this country of promoting totally egalitarian themes at this time ... it just won't play in Peoria ...

thanks for all the links ... i'll check them out when time permits ...
