Carl,
Yeah, that could be a long discussion. In fact, it was a discussion 
probably started around 1969. Looks like we're making quick work of that 
one as the American left, which I presume is different from them durn' 
"liberals."

In its latest iteration here, at least you're only trying to settle 
things from 2005, when Obama was still wiping the moisture from behind 
his ears as the very junior senator from the Land of Lincoln.

How is being firmly stuck in the past going to win us victory tomorrow? 
I think even Lenin would be starting to look around and think more about 
when the seminar will be dismissed so he can get a beer than listen to 
the instructor recount his own grad school ideological conflicts for the 
nth time.
