At the risk of beating the greasy spot on the ground where the dead
horse used to be, show me some (thinking, that is). All I've seen from
the left is emotional rants and sarcastic attacks like the above with
no substance. Show me some numbers. Show me someone who even
understands how to measure a result, or even cares about results instead
of motives. I /have/ seen intelligent socialists; I am amazed by their
skill at ducking the real issues, straining at gnats, swallowing camels.
They are a joy to watch sometimes. But I have yet to see one who is
as skilled at seeing reality as ey is at evading it.
