because I don't automatically embrace what you and others promulgate on this site renders me an outsider? I am as much, if not more so, of a progressive than many people who subscribe to this forum.

Isn't that rather hypocritical? You challenge people to educate themselves on the issues and stand up against the status quo. Yet, if I don't agree with everything I read here, I am "undesirable," not one of you? Don't you see that that kind of attitude is exactly the same as the freepers we abhor?

One of the things I love about the Left, which is one of the things that can keep us fragmented, is that there is room for more than one opinion. We can agree on concepts, but not necessarily agree with how to reach our goals, or even what the goals are.

I misread what I called putting Mr. Too on a pedestal. I acknowledge your your response re: deference to his level of knowledge being closer to the truth.

I will continue to lurk and post occasionally, which is about the best I can do right now. I'm home sick today with a cold, which is why I even got to spend as much time here as I did today. I'm a little jealous of those of you who have the time to devote to furthering your causes and missions.

As I said before, I will take what I want and leave the rest. I hope, however, we can remain united in our efforts to dethrone the "emporer."

Peace.
