Mike,
       I don't think they have a failing of intelligence or objectivity
necessarily. Look back at the history of socialism as soon as one group of
them has a failure the others start relabeling themselves to escape any well
deserved negative reputation. Way back in the 19th century the word
socialism came into poor repute so they relabeled themselves Liberals and
Progressives. They call themselves communists, socialist, Trotskyites,
Maoist and just the past few days on this list we saw them relabeling
themselves as practically being capitalists.
       As my friend says they take the same old smelly bleep, repackage it in
sweeter smelling paper and put it right back on the market.
       But if you wish to argue that they are in fact non-objective and not
too smart I won't argue the point -- I am only commenting on motive. <G>
They want to hide who they are and what they are attempting to accomplish.
IMHO that is why they like to talk in such abstract terms -- if they come
down to earth we will discover who they are.
