I have no informed opinion on Lerner, but I wanted to interject (mainly to Carrol) that if I met the "me" of 20 years ago in a dark alley today, I'd probably look up and down the alley to make sure no one was watching, and then slug myself to teach myself a lesson. I was pretty fucking unenlightened, politically speaking. 20 years ago, let alone 31, is an awfully long time.
Actually, I recognize that slugging people silly isn't necessarily putting them on the path to enlightenment, but you get the point...
