WWP

[Steve Perry]

some people on the list are quite active, as i understand it. good. on the
whole, however, there's an overabundance of prattling about the formalities
of discourse and the same old internecine conflicts on the so-called left,
and a shortage of posts that impart real information from sites round the
web--real news and analysis being such scarce commodities now, by design.

lbo reminds me of nothing so much as chomsky's observation about the
educated classes being the biggest ignoramuses of all when it comes to
matters of ideological indoctrination. i don't know where luke weiger and
justin schwartz went to school, e.g., or what it cost, but every cent was
wasted--or very well-spent, depending on one's outlook.

So what should the fiddlers be doing instead (that they aren't doing
already, that is)?
