9. P.S. To all on the board who have ever argued...

that anyone who is against the establishment can't be all bad/ that the left-right distinction is artificial/ that temporary alliances between progressives and anti-war or anti-establishment right-wingers are acceptable in the cause of single-issue campaigns/ that 'even a stopped clock is right twice a day' -

THIS is why I have alwaya so strongly argued against such views.

THIS is what we are up against!

THIS is why progressives can NEVER make common cause with the anti-establishment right!

THIS is what we must all fight against in unity while it is still not too late!!!
