[Peace-discuss] Race & class, re: News notes 2005-09-18

[C. G. Estabrook]

Interestingly,though, Bush did watch a sister die when he was
young, an event that the GWU shrink who did a psychoanalysis-
at-a-distance last year thought to be quite important to his
psyche.  Some modern analysts would see it as a matter that
the young George did not deal with by repression (which would
lead to neurosis) but "repudiation, withdrawal, or
foreclosure" (which leads to psychosis).  He's mad as a
hatter, which is why he's so useful to his "base." 

Amen to your prayer.  --CGE
