<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bob,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>NRA is only a part of it and is secondary. I
never did fit any mold. In my left wing radical days, the Marxists cursed me
as a "Marxist revisionist" which is about the nastiest thing one could be
called by a Marxist. Trotskyites for some reason wanted a fist fight over
poltical theory. The "Socialist Workers Party" usually wound up rabid and
foaming at the mouth as a result of discussions of politics. Of course I got
along well with " Hippie Folk", Viet Nam Vets against the War and the Black
Student Union. How did I get from there to here? All I can say is "What a long
strange trip it's been!" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, the NRA is ok, but not radical enough! But
that is another rather complex story.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An interesting read is Etienne La Boite on the
"Politics of Obedience". He was a 16th century philosopher. It is a short
read, but very worthwhile to stimulate thinking. It is particularly
interesting as he was a (close) contemporary of Niccolo Machiavelli. Actually
read both philosophers and think which is preferable and which dominates
current political theory and practice. Consider where we have gone since the
early days of the twentieth century. </FONT></DIV>
