Let's see if I understand the implications here: you're advising me to seek popularity among people whose opinion I have never been given cause to respect, who oppose the neocon view because at bottom they'd rather leave the evil and corruption of totalitarian governance to thrive unmolested when democracy is visibly so much better, so much wealthier, and so much more humane than totalitarianism? These are the kind of people I
don't want for friends. That's your idea of a telling argument?? My oh my, does that redefine
fatuity. Not much cause for jealousy here. Really, Mari, in the couple of years I've been here, I've seen you have ONE good idea among a slew of bad ones: supporting the soldiers' charity.

Since you've made further replies, you may wish to retract or redact this sentence.
Meanwhile, I suppose I might as well bone up a little on South American history. It's a subject rather neglected in American high schools, along with international relations generally. "History & Moral Philosophy," anyone?
