Re: Arundhati Roy on India and Its Maoists

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A lot of what I've heard her say seems somewhat like moralizing, but she can reach a
broad swath of people that would never bother with what we have to say.   I know
that she would be a big draw at Chico and that her presence would be a very positive
influence.

I'm more concerned with the way that is we tend to tear down our natural allies.  If
she were promoting something negative, like an invasion of another country or some
pro-corporate policies, criticism would be in order.  Or am I missing something
about her of which I should be aware?
