Carowan Unmasked

[LeoCasey at aol.com]

I received off list e-mail from "Jan Carowan" asking me to forward a message 
attacking Doug as a protectionist in the pay of UNITE over the sweatshop 
piece. I replied to him that I would not do this, mostly because it violated 
my sense of how a list for political discussion should work, although I also 
thought the post itself was wrongheaded. I then received a number of more 
e-mails, the second to last one which was signed with Rakesh's name and the 
last one of which said "the cat is out of the bag." It found the whole thing 
completely strange, not the least because it did not fit my picture of 
Rakesh, who has always struck me as an intelligent poster. This is more the 
kind of bizarre behavior I would expect out of a Proyect. Ph.D. dissertations 
can do very strange things to people.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has, and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who 
want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and 
lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
-- Frederick Douglass --
