Thanks for reminding me of this. I am so forgetful. In a moment of lapse, I
wrote an article that stressed recreating the Mayan past, including human
sacrifice, ancestor worship and pyramids deep in the jungle built by the
lower caste. Talk about a refusal to have a dialog, for pete's sake. If you
can write a reply to me without once pointing out that you are a socialist,
I'd appreciate it. I have a 400 page FBI file in my desk at home that is a
constant reminder of that.
