[lbo-talk] chuckO for pres

[Michael Dawson]

Right, but, for somebody who's an uncompromising anarchist, isn't
"professional" a rather tainted way of saying "look great" or "look better
than that?"  Competence is certainly part of a "profession," but usually so
is a major dose of arbitrary power and privilege, right?  That's why
lawyers, for instance, insist on writing badly.  Otherwise, everybody can
see what they're saying and doing.

Don't think I've ever heard Noam Chomsky use the word "professional" to
distinguish himself...
