Jim,
I agree to a point. At the same time, however, I hope to gain more from
this listserv than the liberal cliches and critiques about Bush, Gore, and
the rest of them. I may be disapointed in Bush's performance, but I don't
see where a one-sided, narrow-minded bush-slamming is appropriate to this
listserv (not that I'm in charge). Wade's "arguments" contain holes large
enough to drive a through, but I, for one, don't have the energy or desire
to "wade" through the crap (or, in Lance's terms, shovel out the shit).
These discussions are a dime a dozen, and I'd rather discuss something
(Percy related perhaps?) that has more to do with my life and my students'
lives. Making absurd comments about K. harris and George W. is fine for
humor sake, but I get the feeling Wade wants us to take his "arguments"
seriously (maybe that is a mistake on my part), which is hard for any
thinking person to do.
Enough. I'm out of here. I have four syllabi to compose.

prison of our false self, and enter by love into union
with the Life Who dwells and sings within the essence of
every creature and in the core of our own souls."
