Macdonald:
You have escaped the rather narrow narrative confines of Alice in Proyectland on LBO-Talk. Being a social democrat or a radical democrat [I am not offended by being called the former, but I am much more of the latter] is not the 'scarlet letter' here. Argument by personal insult is not de rigueur here.
If anyone here is not already aware of my support for the UN trial of the serial ethnic cleanser Milosevic, or of my opposition to the murderous Saddam, it is because they are relatively new to our discussions.

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 --
