Doyle;

No doubt normal religious related blather trying to draw a blurry line in the mind of fundamentalist verities.

Reformist blather dampens down expectations of change.  But shows also how fluid things might be if people got a true sense of need.  The factors that make a reformist come to naught are the international scope of this global economic U.S. decline and the need everywhere to dramatically shift energy policies.  I don't think any democrat can do anything without a mobilized base as suggested by your comment 'saint barry'.

But your comment says to me that the fervor of political belief is not in your canon (yet!).  Oh I think it silly to feel barry is the knight leading us like Lincoln.  But I think change focuses the mind in many to specific solutions that 'work'.  Any random fervor is useless, it is the consolidation of many to the successful efforts that matter.  That fervor can't be turned by intellectual arguments.

Rightly so as well.

Thanks,

Doyle Saylor
