Paul, honestly, it isn't clear why this is continuing. For one thing, when I answer you - you don't seem to reply to what I wrote. Maybe I am missing it, but you simply offer your views, again, and again. But additionally, it is okay...

I and many other people learn important things, at times, from the New York Times - that doesn't in the slightest negate a critique of the NYT. Same holds here. But in this case, the issue is not simply content - but, for Twitter - what a name...

The thing about proximate causes - as compared to the general ones that operate - is that the former are relevant for two things - a prosecutor or defence attorney, say, looking for guilt or innocense in some situation - or to help find general ca...

Paul, I will stand by what I wrote. I understood you. I don't agree with you. By a large amount. But I am not in the UK, and now there are many folks there who are addressing the issues seriously, and well, I think. Pilger, Marquesse, just tod...

I don't doubt you think what I wrote is wrong - but you don't quote it, indicating where you believe it errs, either in this comment, or in your blog piece. As a result, I have nothing to reply to... The only inkling I get is the last two...

Thank you very much for the kind words ... and this: "I am 100% behind parecon but it's hard to talk about that with people. Even more so with activists. I think the general public might be more interested, for some reason. I feel pareco...

The real surprise about riots is not that London is burning, but that Paris, New York, and Rome aren't - yet

In my experience communication may not be so impossible. Look at Spain, and to an extent Greece too. Cross generation communications certainly occur. I know a lot of very militant and committed young people in the U.S., working class, who are taki...

Thank you for the kind assessment! Can you do me a favor? Present in the strongest possible form the viewpoint you are encountering and having trouble dealing with. Play devils advocate, we call it... because I think this is not confined to Lat...

John, If you have serious concerns about parecon, or about my comments regarding anarchist concerns, please raise them and I will reply. As to the alternative you pose, honestly, it is just you more less winging it&he...

I basically agree with your formulations, but you seem to go further than I would - which is perfectly reasonable, but I think not a priority... That is, often, alternative isn't really particularly alternative. It is just smaller, say - but ...
