Joseph, a few months ago when you posted on some of your actual organizing activities, you caught my interest and admiration.

But it is becoming pretty clear that as much as you want to struggle against u.s. imperialism, you are in fact giving it far more aid by these nearly lunatic ravings than you could ever counterbalance by your organizing activities.

Can't you understand that even if some of your idiocies were _true_, raving about them does _not_ build opposition to the ruling class (or Bush) but merely has the effect of setting those who should be allies against each other. There is much that you and I share in common, but that only makes this vicious and wholly wrong-headed conspiracism of yours much more painful and disheartening, as I see it poisoning your efforts to struggle. It saddens me so that I'll just have to stop reading you.

So long to a person I wish I could call Comrade.

Carrol
