I have been reading and enjoying some (not all) of the exchange between Jim
and Max.  It's interesting, I think this debate has been going on between
lefties for the better part of a century.  One thing I would like to see both
of you address/debate is the possibility of the rise of a right wing mass
movement along the lines of the rise of Nazism in Europe.  As Max pointed
out, the Clinton oval office has done more to thwart right wing, white,
racist movements than left.  It seems to me that the main mass movement in
this country at this time is on the right -- Perot, Waco, Oklahoma City,
Freemen, the burning of churchs (white and black), ... .  One idea which I
have, only half formed, is that a left movement in this country might become
more cohesive as the right becomes more cohesive.  Certainly, black church
leaders are banding together as they haven't done since the late 1950s/early
60s.  Even white religious leaders are coming together because the overt
nature of current racism is an embarrassment to the image of Christianity.
