Max,
Actually, in the urge to respond to the distortions of arguments that Leo
was engaging in, it looks  like I've made a generalization that, indeed, I
am to date unable to document. I was thinking of
people like the former head of Leo's union Al Shanker, Robert Leiken, etc.
who were supportive of Reagan's foreign policy in places like Nicaragua
and Afghanistan.
As I said earlier, when I disagree with your arguments I can still see an
argument. Leo didn't  even  bother try to construct a clear position in
this instance, just a bunch of  emotional blather, on the
arrogant presumption that he is the only one on the list who has gone
through emotional turmoil as a result of last week's tragedy.  I
appreciate the pain the tragedy put  him through, but that's not
an excuse for the kinds of distortions of Chomsky's arguments he was
making.  Nor unfortunately, assuming that my claim is seriously mistaken,
would mine.
$50? Don't you guys have a poor grad students fee?

Still waiting for documentation of this
accusation.

Never heard any oppositin to it either. In the 80's his ADA was supporting
it.    Steve
