It certainly seems very exciting, negatively exciting, to the more conservative, which I find rather remarkable and perhaps amenable to an entertaining analysis or even a friendly exchange of epithets. Especially Mark Cooper's 'And, praise Jesus, none of that damn "twinkling" going on -- the infantile and wholly idiotic process now in vogue among American activists whereby they raise their hands and wiggle their fingers to show approval of what's being said in one of their endless, process-laden, mind-deadening meetings.'
Whew! Process-laden! He does work up a sweat, doesn't he?
