Who is talking about activism? I am no activist myself although I did 
put in 23 solid years from 1967 to 1990. I am talking about analyzing 
politics and class relationships in the USA. You ask me to define the 
bazaari bourgeoisie for you. What a waste of my time. I much prefer to 
analyze the American economy. If you asked me to define the US ruling 
class, I'd feel like I'd be grounded in reality. That, btw, is the 
subject of Doug's next book.

Something very disorienting happened to you about 3 or 4 years ago. You 
began to become very bored and frustrated with American politics and 
became infatuated with Iran. I can understand how living in Columbus, 
Ohio can rot out your brain that way. Poor Michael Hoover has all he can 
do to stay sane in Orlando.

Maybe you and your husband should move to Los Angeles or Chicago.
