Why have so many on the Left for so long been so pathetically eager 
to lick the boots of dictators? Post many things like this, Doug, and 
you are going to drive me to make another try at reading _The Psychic 
Life of Power_--either that or start reading sociobiology and 
ethology about monkey politics and the drive-to-submission...
