another brilliant one, Tom. it actually moved my own internal needle a bit, which I didn't think was possible. for example, I've been spending the last six or so years refusing to get into any kind of metaphorical bed with any of the neocons who started showing up on MSNBC and CNN to trash TFF. based on your argument here, I see that I was almost certainly (how's that for qualifying a direct statement...? I didn't spend years in graduate school for nothing...I can now qualify a statement enough so that it isn't a statement, but that's another story) being too much of hardass; if those guys accept the basic givens of our system, whatever its abundant flaws, then I'm obviously on THEIR side. the other option is...well, realistically speaking just for myself...something I find myself unable to think about once I get to the other side winning in 2024, even if it's not TFF. honestly, I just can't go there.
