Jon thank you so much. You have no idea how much I loved hearing that
program. It made me realize how much my brain as slowed down. Gosh it
was great seeing how fast I threw out figures etc. and responded with
speed to anything I was asked. My brain is not what it used to be. I
think I will have it written up and possibly include it as an appendix.
Iâm not sure it may be too long. Maybe an edited version. 

 

The other things that amazed me is how my talks in the California
Governor races were exactly the same I just donât use the word socialism
instead I explain what it means or should mean to people. Other wise I
could hardly find a difference except I only mentioned the environment
once in the 1976 presentation etc. but otherwise it is the same talk. I
have a whole theory about this stuff which I hope to write a book about
it which I want to call The Third American Revolution. We need so badly
to learn how to explain our ideas so people can connect with their life
and experience. You would be amazed when I had to go to the hospital
because of my cancer how many nurses came to me to say they supported me
because when they heard me on the radio or TV I made sense.

 

The problem is Stalinism disoriented everyone and destroyed the left in
the world. Slowly it will be rebuilt. I think it is happening in South
America. Thanks so much Jon.

 Peter
